Aging impairs heat loss, but when does it matter?
Stapleton, J. M.; Poirier, M. P.; Flouris, A. D.; Boulay, P.; Sigal, R. J.; Malcolm, J.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)Aging is associated with an attenuated physiological ability to dissipate heat. However, it remains unclear if age-related impairments in heat dissipation only occur above a certain level of heat stress and whether this ... -
At What Level of Heat Load Are Age-Related Impairments in the Ability to Dissipate Heat Evident in Females?
Stapleton, J. M.; Poirier, M. P.; Flouris, A. D.; Boulay, P.; Sigal, R. J.; Malcolm, J.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)Studies have reported that older females have impaired heat loss responses during work in the heat compared to young females. However, it remains unclear at what level of heat stress these differences occur. Therefore, we ... -
Changes in heart rate variability during the induction and decay of heat acclimation
Flouris, A. D.; Poirier, M. P.; Bravi, A.; Wright-Beatty, H. E.; Herry, C.; Seely, A. J.; Kenny, G. P. (2014)We evaluated the changes in core temperature, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV) during the induction and decay of heat acclimation. Ten males (23 +/- A 3 years; 79.5 +/- A 3.5 kg; 15.2 +/- A 4.5 percent body ... -
An Evaluation of the Physiological Strain Experienced by Electrical Utility Workers in North America
Meade, R. D.; Lauzon, M.; Poirier, M. P.; Flouris, A. D.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)The purpose of this study was to assess the physiological strain experienced by North American electrical utility workers during the performance of their normal work duties in heat stressed conditions. Three common job ... -
The Influence of Arc-Flash and Fire-Resistant Clothing on Thermoregulation during Exercise in the Heat
Poirier, M. P.; Meade, R. D.; McGinn, R.; Friesen, B. J.; Hardcastle, S. G.; Flouris, A. D.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)We evaluated the effect of arc-flash and fire-resistant (AFR) clothing ensembles (CE) on whole-body heat dissipation during work in the heat. On 10 occasions, 7 males performed four 15-min cycling bouts at a fixed rate of ...
