Pose a hypothesis predicting the effect of each of these three experimental conditions on core body temperature.

Condition Hypothesis

Exercise ?

Cold water exposure ?

Time of day ?

Solution

Core body temperature refers to the internal temperature of the organs of the body, which includes organs such heart and liver and blood. Oral temperature is 37 degree celsius, and the tympanic temperature is a direct reflection of the core temperature of the body.

It can be hypothesized that
Exercise: Exercise that. exercise would raise would temperature. In adults, strenuous or heavy exercise should increase the temperature as compared to the children where even mild exercises would raise the temperature.

Time of day : The body temperature lowers during night around bed time, as the metabolic processes are at rest. During the day, with higher amount of physical activities, it might increase.

Cold water exposure: As we know, that the body maintains temperature by thermoregulation, when exposed to cold water or cold environment, the body will swiftly increase its temperature and release more heat to maintain the internal body temperature. We are concerned with too much heat loss in such situations.
