The purpose of this study was to determine whether repeated heat stress is closely related to circulating levels of free fatty acids (FFA) during repeated heat stress, defined as immersion of the lower body up to an umbilical level in hot water, 42±0.5 °C (three times/ week, 30 min/day) for 2 weeks. There were significant correlations between mean body temperature and FFA before and after repeated heat stress (p<0.001, respectively), and the level of FFA was significantly higher after repeated heat stress during heat stress (p<0.01). The threshold of mean body temperature for lipolysis was lowered by repeated heat load and enhanced lipolysis during heat stress. However, caution is needed for diabetic individuals.
