Filter by:The Double Sensor examined in this trial was developed by Dräger Company and is a novel non- invasive device for assessing core body temperature. In a preliminary research investigators have conducted the Double Sensor was found promising for potential use of physiological heat stress early detection. This follow-up experiment was designed to validate the data during high and changing body core temperatures and to examine the Double Sensor performance while integrated into a helmet as in intended application.
Exposure to heat stress can compromise the physiological and cognitive function and be life threatening, particularly in a military setting. Various strategies of precondition to heat stress that have been explored in the past proved to be inapplicable. We aim to examine the influences of Astaxanthin supplementation as a preconditioning strategy to heat stress in a human model using a heat tolerance test. This will be achieved by a double-blind, placebo controlled supplementation trial, exposing human subjects, before and after consuming Astaxanthin or a placebo, to a controlled heat strain environment, while performing moderate exercise in a heated chamber.
Soldiers are required to perform and maintain alertness in difficult environmental conditions. The sensor examined in this trail may indicate body core temperature elevation during exertion. 12 male volunteers will arrive to our lab and perform a protocol of sitting and walking in thermoneutral and hot environments with two core temperature sensors. The results obtained from them will be compared.
The purpose of this study is to test if temperature homeostasis in football players can be improved by circulating cool, dry air underneath shoulder pads between periods of intense physical activity.
