- A New study was reporting that “microgravity consistently increases core body temperature, with fluid shifts playing a crucial role in thermal balance.”
- Human bodies respond differently to temperature changes based on age, fitness level, and body fat, among other parameters.
- In environments with near-zero gravity like the space, the human body changes significantly, affecting the bones, muscles, the heart, the immune system, the metabolism and even individual cells.
- Specifically, the researchers reported that while the feet and hands become cooler as the body spends more time in microgravity, the head, abdomen, and the core get warmer.
- The Core body temperature may increase from 36.3°C to 37.8°C (with 30% lower sweating and 36% higher metabolism) in 2.5 months under the influence of the microgravity.
