The impact of various rehydration volumes for firefighters wearing protective clothing in warm environments

Article Abstract:

The different fluid replacement quantities were examined during intermittent work while wearing firefighting protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus in the heat. During the heat-stress trials subjects received four different fluid replacement quantities and it was concluded that incorporating even partial fluid replacement strategies while wearing firefighting protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus in the heat improved tolerance time.
