Influence of ambient temperature on in-shoe foot temperature kinetics during a 40-minute treadmill walk
There are two competing drivers for foot temperature during exercise
and they seem to be related to thermoregulatory vasodilation
and reflex vasoconstriction, associated with the exercise. However,
the pattern of change in foot temperature kinetics during exercise
has not been described previously. This study provides continuous
measurement data of ambulatory foot temperature in different ambient
temperatures aiming to provide insight into the influence of climate
on ambulatory foot temperature kinetics. These results, in
healthy participants provide the first data on foot temperature kinetics
during exercise in individuals living in a Mediterranean climate,
and provide the foundation for the use of this type of technology in
clinical contexts including the evaluation of patients at risk of foot
ulceration.peer-reviewe
