Summary

In the context of global aging, the health risk factors associated with exercising or working in the heat for aging population are exacerbated by the rising in global surface temperatures. The purpose of this investigation is to determine at what age the heat loss decrements occur and to examine if aerobic fitness level can affect the heat loss capacity in neutral environmental conditions.

Conditions

  • Risk of Heat Stress

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Shuttle run test

At the shuttle run test, participants were required to run between two lines 20 meters apart, while keeping pace with audio signals emitted from a pre-recorded CD. The frequency of the sound signals increases in such way that running speed was increased by 0.5 km h-1 each minute from the starting speed 8.5 km h-1.
