Countermeasures to Heat Stress in Females.

Abstract

High-heat environments impair work performance and can compromise combat mission success. Lack of heat dissipation poses a serious problem to personnel who perform work in noxious environments. To decrease the incidence of heat injury and increase performance capability, microcooling technologies have been developed for personnel working in encapsulated garments. Currently, the effectiveness of microclimate cooling systems (MCS) for females has not been determined. Due to gender differences in thermoregulation and anthropometry,
