Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Combat soldiers are required to perform under strenuous physical conditions; hence, their physical fitness is a crucial factor in their survivability.

The Auxiliary Device- "Minkal", is suggested (by its manufactures) to be able to reduce the soldiers' physiological strain by lowering the absolute load being carried by the soldier. As a result, it may improve the soldier's physiological abilities and performance through enduring missions with heavy loads, and may lead to better protection on the soldier from overuse injuries.

study

The participants will undergo 6 days of study. The first day of the study include medical examination, maximal oxigen consumption day and anthropometric mesurments.

Then The participants will undergo heat tolerance test 5 times (in different days).

first day- without load. second day- with back load of 40% of the body weight. third day- with back load of 40% of the body weight and the Auxilairy Device. fourth day- with back load of 60% of the body weight. fifth day- with back load of 60% of the body weight and the Auxilairy Device. The rectal temperature, skin teperature and heart rate will be mesured each day and compered afterwards.
