Abstract: | To investigate the influence of nonthermal factors in the time-of-day effect on the sweating response to maintained static
exercise, eight healthy male subjects performed handgrip exercise at 20%, 35% and 50% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)
for 60 s at 0600 hours (morning) and at 1800 hours (evening). Oesophageal temperature (T
oes) before the experiment showed a diurnal rhythm mean (SEM)] 36.3 (0.1) (morning) compared to 36.8 (0.1) °C (evening), P<0.01]. Experiments were conducted with subjects in a state of mild hyperthermia during which the mean skin temperature (T
sk) was kept constant at 35.5–36.5 °C using a water-perfused suit to activate sudomotor responses. The T
oes and mean T
sk remained stable during the pre-exercise, handgrip exercise and recovery periods. The response in sweating rate (ΔSR) on the
chest and forearm to handgrip exercise increased significantly with increasing exercise intensity in both the morning and
evening tests (P<0.05). The ΔSR on the palm did not change significantly with increasing exercise intensity in the morning test (P>0.1). During handgrip exercise at 50% MVC only, ΔSR on the chest, forearm and palm in the evening was significantly higher
than in the morning (P<0.05). On the other hand, mean arterial blood pressure and the rating of perceived exertion during 50% MVC handgrip exercise
were not significantly different between the morning and evening (P>0.1). These results indicate the presence of a time-of-day effect on nonthermal control of the sweating response to isometric
handgrip exercise, and that this effect is dependent on exercise intensity.
