Summary

This study checks if keeping indoor temperatures at 26°C (a guideline already proven for older adults) is enough to protect healthy young adults aged 18-29 from heat stress. Ten participants will spend 8 hours in a warm room, either resting in light clothes or doing light exercise in extra layers. Researchers will measure body temperature, heart strain, and thinking ability to see if the current recommendation needs to be updated for this group.
