Summary

BHSAI is developing a computational system that provides early alerts of a rise in core body temperature to help reduce the risk of heat injury in the field and during training. The goal of the body temperature alerting system is to use it during rest, exercise in the heat and during body cooling. Using this system during cooling will allow healthcare professionals and military personnel monitor core temperature to ensure cooling is effective (and prevent hypothermia). Therefore, the primary purpose of this investigation is to validate a body temperature alerting system using physiological responses that occur during rest, exercise in the heat and during body cooling. Multiple cooling modalities will be validated. This study is expanding on a previous intervention IRB#H20-0010 (BHSAI Cooling Study), but will examine body cooling during more intense exercise and while cycling. We will also examine the effectiveness of each cooling modality (passive cooling, mist-fan cooling, hand/forearm immersion, ice towel) on physiological variables after exercise in the heat.

Conditions

  • Hyperthermia

Interventions

OTHER

Forearm coolng

forearm immersion will be performed for active cooling assessment

OTHER

Wet-towel cooling

Wet towels will be wrapped around the participant's arms for active cooling

OTHER

mist-fan

a mist-fan will be placed in front of the participant for active cooling

OTHER

passive cooling

participants will sit in a chair and "passively cool" (no active intervention)
