NCT ID NCT07174180
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at how wearing a hijab (headscarf and cloak) affects heat loss in young women during moderate exercise in hot, dry conditions (40°C). Twelve healthy women aged 18-35 will exercise in a special room that measures heat exchange. The goal is to understand if the hijab increases body temperature or discomfort, which can help guide safe exercise practices.
