In this third installment of our four-part historical series, we evaluate contributions that
shaped our understanding of heat and cold stress during occupational and athletic pursuits …

In this, the second of four historical reviews on human thermoregulation during exercise, we
examine the research techniques developed by our forebears. We emphasise calorimetry …

Background Workplace heat exposure can cause a series of heat-related illnesses and
injuries. Protecting workers especially those undertake work outdoors from the risk of heat …

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess current perceptions of heat stress, fatigue and
recovery practices during active duty in Australian firefighters. Design Prospective survey …

Simple Summary Rescue services personnel may be exposed to a wide range of harsh
environments that require the use of protective gear. In order to achieve the best …

Objectives Due to the nature of firefighting, most effective cooling interventions to reduce
heat strain and optimise performance are not practically viable. This study quantified the …

This review is the final contribution to a four-part, historical series on human exercise
physiology in thermally stressful conditions. The series opened with reminders of the …

With climate warming, there is an urgent need to understand the health effects of
occupational heat exposure. This systematic review examined the cumulative effects of …

This study compared the effectiveness of five commercially available cooling vests using
three distinct thermal manikin test protocols. In addition, the constraints associated with each …

High temperature weather occurs frequently in recent years. As a heat-vulnerable group,
sanitation workers suffer great physiological safety risks in high temperature weather. In this …
