No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Using protective or combat garments under heavy heat stress conditions, during rest or exertion, may hinder the body's ability to effectively exchange heat with the environment and thereby can lead to heat injuries. The purpose of this research is to physiologically examine the new textile solutions that are planned to be integrated in the protective garments, combat garments and work uniforms in the army, by evaluating the physiological stress obtained during exertion under hot climatic conditions.

Conditions

  • Physiological Stress

Interventions

OTHER

clothing type, protective garments of Paul Boye Technologies

The experiment aimed at evaluating the physiological stress obtained when dressed in different clothing (NBC protective garment \[charcoal base\], combat garment and 2 different types of work uniforms- (1)50% cotton and 50% polyester (2)80% cotton and 20% polyester) and during exertion under heat conditions.
