Does 3 hours of treadmill walking in high ambient temperatures alter cardiac output, stroke volume, and heart rate in normal young men?
During prolonged exercise in heat, cardiac output is maintained despite a marked decrease in stroke volume due to a compensatory increase in heart rate.
Tetsuo Katsuura (1981) studied this question.
