Summary
This study looks at how being in hot conditions during the day, at night, or both affects the body and mind. Thirty-five healthy adults aged 18-30 will spend time in a temperature-controlled room. Researchers will measure heart function, lung capacity, blood markers of inflammation and stress, and mood changes. The goal is to understand the short-term health impacts of different heat exposure patterns.
