Experimental Treatment
Group I: Consecutive workExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will complete 2 consecutive days of simulated firefighting tasks in the heat. The simulated work consists of 20 minutes of simulated structural work in a hot environment, followed by 20 minutes of seated rest in a temperate room, mimicking a typical recovery period in structural firefighting. Subjects then re-enter the environmental chamber and complete 23 minutes of simulated overhaul work in a temperate environment.
