Which thermoregulatory effect occurs when a mammal exercises intensely in a hot environment?

💡 Explanation

When body temperatures rise during intense exercise in hot conditions, peripheral vasodilation occurs because blood vessels widen to increase convective heat loss from skin. Therefore increased vasodilation enhances heat dissipation, rather than shivering or brown fat which generate heat, or reduced sweating which impairs cooling.
