Study Summary

This trial tests the effectiveness of upper/whole-body cooling to prevent an increase in core temperature during exercise in the heat. Participants wear firefighter clothing and do work/rest periods in 40°C/40%RH.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-49 who pass a physical activity readiness questionnaire without any red flags. It's designed to see how different cooling methods might help people exercise in hot conditions, like firefighters do.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests two body cooling strategies during exercise: an upper-body cooling vest and a full-body set with pants and vest. Participants will compare these against no cooling gear at all while doing stepping exercises in a hot, humid environment.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive cooling garments, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort due to the cold, skin irritation from the garment, or chills.
