Simulated firefighting task performance and physiology under very hot conditions
Purpose: To assess the impact of very hot (45°C) conditions on the performance of, and physiological responses to, a simulated firefighting manual-handling task compared to the same work in a temperate environment (18°C).Methods: 10 male volunteer firefighters performed a 3-hour protocol in both 18°...
