Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of varying hot environments on physiological and perceptual fatigue during work.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After providing written informed consent and screening, subjects will complete two experimental visits during which they will complete treadmill work in either a hot/dry or warm/humid environment.
