Brief Summary

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

The best way to cool a very hot person is using cold water immersion, however, the optimization of this technique has not been established. The goal of this study is to determine differences in cooling rates among two types of cold water immersion and passive cooling following immersion.
