NCT ID NCT07267598
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study checks whether keeping indoor temperatures at 26°C is enough to protect young, habitually active adults from heat stress. Ten healthy volunteers aged 18-29 will spend 8 hours in a controlled warm room, either resting or doing light exercise while wearing extra clothing. Researchers will measure body temperature, heart rate, and other signs of strain to see if the current guideline works for this group.
