Cardiovascular and thermal consequences of protective clothing: A comparison of clothed and unclothed states

Article Abstract:

The impact of thermal protective clothing on central and peripheral cardiovascular function and its interaction with temperature regulation during exercise in the heat are evaluated. During moderately heavy, semi-recumbent exercise under hot, dry conditions, if the thermal strain on the unclothed body is sufficiently high, then the additional stress imparted by wearing a thermal protective ensemble can represent a negligible, further impact upon cardiovascular stability and physiological control.

Intermittent microclimatic cooling during exercise-heat stress in US army chemical protective clothing

Article Abstract:

The effectiveness of intermittent microclimatic cooling during exercise-heat stress for men who worked in US Army chemical protective clothing is studied. Intermittent cooling at 2-min intervals provided a favorable skin to liquid cooling garment gradient for heat dissipation by conduction and reduced heat strain comparable to constant cooling during exercise heat-stress in chemical protective clothing.

Exercise thermoregulation and hyperprolactinaemia

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the relationship between pituitary hormone prolactin (PRL), a marker of central serotonergic and dopaminergic activity, and selected thermal and cardiovascular indices. The findings indicate an association between a number of thermoregulatory and cardiovascular variables and serotonergic/dopaminergic activity during prolonged exercise.
