HEAT CASUALTIES IN THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS 1959-1962 WITH APPENDICES ON THE FIELD USE OF THE WET BULB-GLOBE TEMPERATURE INDEX.
Abstract
An effective program for prevention of heat casualties is discussed. It is based on the concept that the total heat load imposed on the trainee by climatic heat stress in combination with elevated rates of internal heat production induced by exercise can be maintained within his physiological capacity by adjusting work load downward as environmental heat stress mounts.
