Most research on human thermoregulation has focused on young adult males. Much less information is available regarding females, children and the elderly. The following is a brief review of factors that have impeded research in this field, as well as of the main age- and gender-related differences in sweating responses to the combined stresses of exercise and ambient heat. For more comprehensive reviews, see Drink-water and Horvath (1975), Kenney (1985; 1995) and Bar-Or (1989; 1996).
