Search for: [Abstract = %22The objective of this study was to assess biothermal conditions in the selected Polish health resorts for specific forms of climatic therapy. We calculated Universal Thermal Climate Index %5C(UTCI%5C) for ten%5C-year period %5C(2008%5C- 2017%5C) and then added adjustment terms%2C taking into account changes in metabolic rates during various physical activities from resting to vigorous exercise. The adjusted UTCI values increased with rising activity%2C implying that warmer parts of the year were unsuitable for intensive forms of climatotherapy. These results demonstrate that the UTCI adjustment procedure provides well%5C-balanced assessments of bioclimatic conditions for the purpose of climatic treatment considering the level of activity.%22]
