The absorption and metabolism of a single L-menthol oral versus skin administration: Effects on thermogenesis and metabolic rate
(2015)We investigated the absorption and metabolism pharmacokinetics of a single L-menthol oral versus skin administration and the effects on human thermogenesis and metabolic rate. Twenty healthy adults were randomly distributed ... -
An advanced empirical model for quantifying the impact of heat and climate change on human physical work capacity
(2021)Occupational heat stress directly hampers physical work capacity (PWC), with large economic consequences for industries and regions vulnerable to global warming. Accurately quantifying PWC is essential for forecasting ... -
Aerobic fitness as a parameter of importance for labour loss in the heat
(2021)Objectives: To derive an empirical model for the impact of aerobic fitness (maximal oxygen consumption; V̇O2max in mL∙kg−1∙min−1) on physical work capacity (PWC) in the heat. Design: Prospective, repeated measures. Methods: ... -
Age differences in cardiac autonomic regulation during intermittent exercise in the heat
(2020)Purpose: This study aimed to detect potential differences in heart-rate variability (HRV) during a moderate-intensity intermittent exercise in the heat among physically active young (25.8 ± 1.9 years), middle-aged (43.5 ± ... -
Aging Impairs Whole-Body Heat Loss in Women under Both Dry and Humid Heat Stress
(2017)Purpose This study was designed to determine whether age-related impairments in whole-body heat loss, which are known to exist in dry heat, also occur in humid heat in women. Methods To evaluate this possibility, 10 young ... -
Author’s Reply to Brocherie and Millet: ‘Is the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WGBT) Index Relevant for Exercise in the Heat?’
(2015)[No abstract available] -
Beat the Heat: Effects of a Motivational Self-Talk Intervention on Endurance Performance
(2018)The study examined the effects of a motivational self-talk intervention on endurance cycling performance in hot conditions. Participants were 16 physically active adult men. After a baseline VO2 peak assessment and two ... -
Comparison of antioxidant activity between green and roasted coffee beans using molecular methods
(2015)Coffee is one of the most popular and widely consumed beverages worldwide due to its pleasant taste and aroma. A number of studies have been performed to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of coffee consumption on ... -
Determinants of heat stress and strain in electrical utilities workers across North America as assessed by means of an exploratory questionnaire
(2022)Previous field studies monitoring small groups of participants showed that heat stress in the electrical utilities industry may be detrimental to worker health and safety. Our aim in this study was to characterize heat ... -
Direct exposure of the head to solar heat radiation impairs motor-cognitive performance
(2020)Health and performance impairments provoked by thermal stress are societal challenges geographically spreading and intensifying with global warming. Yet, science may be underestimating the true impact, since no study has ... -
Do the threshold limit values for work in hot conditions adequately protect workers?
(2016)Purpose We evaluated core temperature responses and the change in body heat content (ΔH b) during work performed according to the ACGIH threshold limit values (TLV) for heat stress, which are designed to ensure a stable ... -
Effect of a simulated heat wave on physiological strain and labour productivity
(2021)Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of a simulated heat-wave on the labour productivity and physiological strain experienced by workers. Methods: Seven males were confined for ten days in controlled ... -
Environmental and Psychophysical Heat Stress in Adolescent Tennis Athletes
(2021)Purpose: We investigated the environmental conditions in which all outdoor International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior tournaments (athlete ages: <18 y) were held during 2010–2019. Thereafter, we performed a crossover ... -
Evidence for age-related differences in heat acclimatisation responsiveness
(2020)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Repeated heat exposure during the summer months can enhance heat loss in humans (seasonal heat acclimatisation), but does the magnitude of that enhancement differ ... -
Heart rate variability in older workers during work under the Threshold Limit Values for heat exposure
(2020)Background: The Threshold Limit Values (TLV) of the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists indicate the levels of heat stress that all workers may be repeatedly exposed to without adverse health ... -
Heat remains unaccounted for in thermal physiology and climate change research
(2017)In the aftermath of the Paris Agreement, there is a crucial need for scientists in both thermal physiology and climate change research to develop the integrated approaches necessary to evaluate the health, economic, ... -
Heat tolerance and the validity of occupational heat exposure limits in women during moderate-intensity work
(2022)To mitigate excessive rises in core temperature (>1◦C) in non-heat acclimatized workers, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) provides heat stress limits (Action Limit Values; ALV), ... -
Heat waves occurrence and outdoor workers’ self-assessment of heat stress in slovenia and greece
(2019)Changing patterns of heat waves are part of the global warming effect and the importance of changes is reinforced by their negative impact on society. Firstly, heat waves were analyzed in Brnik (Slovenia) and Larisa (Greece) ... -
The HEAT-SHIELD project — Perspectives from an inter-sectoral approach to occupational heat stress
(2021)Objectives: To provide perspectives from the HEAT-SHIELD project (www.heat-shield.eu): a multi-national, inter-sectoral, and cross-disciplinary initiative, incorporating twenty European research institutions, as well as ... -
Identification of the abiotic stress-related transcription in little Neptune grass Cymodocea nodosa with RNA-seq
