NCT ID NCT07539714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a special cooling vest before exercise can help recreational athletes handle hot, humid conditions better. Thirty non-regularly trained adults will exercise in a hot lab, with and without the vest, while researchers measure heart rate, skin temperature, and perceived effort. The goal is to see if pre-cooling can reduce heat strain and improve safety for weekend athletes.
