Effect of load position on physiological and perceptual responses during load carriage with an internal frame backpack

Article Abstract:

The effects of load position in an internal frame backpack on physiological and perceptual variables are determined. The results suggest that load placement is an important factor in the physiological and perceptual responses to load carriage, and packing heavy items in the backpack may be the most energy efficient method of carrying a load on the back.

Effects of sock type on foot skin temperature and thermal demand during exercise

Article Abstract:

The effects of two different sock types on foot skin temperature are examined and its impact on the whole body thermoregulation and energy expenditure is investigated. It is suggested that thermal state of the extremities can alter core temperature, and mental stress can be a major determinant of skin blood perfusion on the foot.
