Formulae are developed, which describe the influence of changed human heat status on the certain physiological parameters (average body and skin temperatures, gradient of average temperature from chest to feet, water losses and pulse gradients). An algorithm is elaborated for calculation of integral parameter of human heat status, which is expressed in numbers. The parameter accounts for the heat exchange between body and environment, takes heat containing, thermoregulation and heat sensation levels into consideration.
