Summary

This study had three aims:

1. To determine the impact of consecutive days of exercise on thermoregulation and cardiovascular strain.
2. To determine the efficacy of a hand cooling device to cool individuals throughout a heat acclimation period.
3. To assess the maintenance of thermoregulatory and cardiovascular adaptations derived from heat acclimation during a 25-day intermittent exercise-heat exposure protocol.
