Study Summary

This trial is testing the impact of a menthol gel on human thermoregulation during moderate intensity walking in hot conditions. The gel will be applied to areas of the body commonly exposed to the sun during outdoor activity, and core temperature, skin temperature, galvanic skin response, laser doppler blood flow, and heart rate will be monitored throughout the exercise.

Eligible Conditions
  • Acute Exercise
  • Heat Exposure
