Summary

Solar radiation is a physical phenomenon which interacts with any human being throughout its life on earth. This interaction is associated with numerous physiological functions, as well as a broad spectrum of deleterious effects on human health and wellbeing. The aim of this study is to elucidate the effects of solar radiation on human function and cognition in environmental conditions characterized by the same thermal stress.

Conditions

  • Heat Stress
  • Heat Strain

Interventions

OTHER

Radiation and warm environment

Exposure to hot environment (30°C WBGT) with radiation (800 W/m2) Exposure for 03:20:00: * rest (two hours) * work (cycling) at 100 W (one hour) * recovery (twenty minutes)

OTHER

Warm environment

Exposure to hot environment (30°C WBGT) with radiation (0 W/m2) Exposure for 03:20:00: * rest (two hours) * work (cycling) at 100 W (one hour) * recovery (twenty minutes)

RADIATION

Neutral environment with radiation

Exposure to neutral environment (20°C WBGT) with radiation (800 W/m2) Exposure for 03:20:00: * rest (two hours) * work (cycling) at 100 W (one hour) * recovery (twenty minutes)

OTHER

Neutral environment without radiation

Exposure to neutral environment (20°C WBGT) with radiation (0 W/m2) Exposure for 03:20:00: * rest (two hours) * work (cycling) at 100 W (one hour) * recovery (twenty minutes)
