Abstract The thermoregulatory mechanisms play an important role in physiological homeostasis during rest and exercise. The physical exertion leads to thermal stress in the human body posing challenge to the thermoregulation system of a human body. In this paper a model has been developed to study temperature distribution in peripheral region of human limbs immediately after exercise under cold climate. The human limbs are assumed to be of a cylindrical shape. The peripheral region of limb is divided into three natural components namely epidermis, dermis and subdermal part. Appropriate boundary conditions have been framed based on the physical conditions of the problem. The finite element method has been employed along radial and angular direction to obtain the solution. The model has been simulated using MATLAB 7.11 to obtain numerical results. The numerical results have been used to obtain temperature profile in the peripheral region immediately after continuous exercise for a three dimensional unsteady state case. The results have been used to study the thermal stress caused due to the physical exercise.
