BackgroundIn hot weather, electric fans can potentially provide effective cooling for people, with lower greenhouse gas emissions and cost than air conditioning. However, international public health organisations regularly discourage fan use in temperatures higher 35°C, despite little evidence. We aimed to determine humidity-dependent temperature thresholds at which would become detrimental different age groups.MethodsWe used biophysical modelling the upper (ie, worsen heat stress) healthy...
This study assesses the effects of self-dousing and foot immersion on heart rate, core temperature, thermal discomfort healthy volunteers randomized to simulated hot humid vs nonhumid conditions.
Extreme heat and hot weather has a negative impact on human health society. Global warming resulted in an increase the frequency duration of heatwaves. Heat-related illnesses are significant consequence high temperatures can be life-threatening medical emergencies. The severity symptoms depend pre-existing conditions vary from mild headaches to severe cases that lead coma death. risk heat-related illness may higher for people experiencing homelessness due lack access cool places water,...
Abstract As a result of climate change heatwaves are expected to increase in frequency and intensity will have detrimental impacts on human health globally. EDs often the critical point care for acute heat illnesses other conditions associated with exposure. Existing literature has focused heatwave‐related hospitalisation mortality. This scoping review aimed identify, evaluate summarise current regarding patient characteristics outcomes ED admissions from heatwaves. A was conducted using six...
ABSTRACT Background: Clinical placements and assessment are an essential part of education to become a health professional. However, quality in clinical environment is challenging without clear representation what constitutes competence. The aim this study was establish core learning competencies for Australian exercise physiology students. Methods: This used mixed-methods, multiphase approach. were developed following electronic surveys focus groups, with additional refinement provided by...
1 . A ten-year study of fifty-four operations for transplantation the hamstring muscles in thirty-one spastic patients has been made. 2. Twenty-one were improved after operation, six not improved, and four duration follow-up was too short proper assessment. One patient died from other causes. 3. Greatest benefit obtained until one year operation. 4. The results varied considerably different grades patient. Important factors affecting age, sex, personality, balance function arm hip. Hand...
PURPOSE: The current extreme heat policy for the National Rugby League (NRL) recommends 1-min cooling breaks mid-way through each half to permit greater fluid ingestion as primary strategy mitigate stress. present study aims assess effectiveness of relative an extended halftime break mitigating thermal strain. METHODS: Six trained males (age: 24±4 y, height: 177±11 cm, weight: 90.8±14.2 kg) undertook four counterbalanced experimental trials in a climate chamber simulating hot/humid...
PURPOSE: It is well established that reductions in exercise performance are observed hot environmental conditions relative to cooler environments. Listening motivational music known improve performance, by enhancing positive affect and reducing ratings of perceived exertion. However, it not if listening mitigates heat-related any additional work leads a greater rise core temperature and/or cardiovascular strain. Our aim was determine during 15-minute cycling time trial (15TT) the decrement...
