Comparison of Model Predictions to Core Temperature Responses During Prolonged Intermittent Exercise

Abstract

The USARIEM Heat Strain Decision Aid (HSDA) is an empirically developed tool for mission planning and prevention of heat injury. HSDA uses information about the individual, their environment, clothing, and activity to estimate core temperature (Tc) and calculate recommended safe work times. Data from a recent series of experiments was used to validate the performance of HSDA for the conditions studied.
