U.S., June 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07664462) titled 'Working in the Heat at Simulated Altitude: Effects of Normobaric Hypoxia on Physiological Strain' on June 17.
Brief Summary: Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent, intense, and prolonged, increasing the risk of heat-related illness among workers performing physically demanding work in hot environments. Current occupational heat-stress guidelines aim to limit excessive increases in core body temperature and physiological strain through the use of work-rest schedules. However, these guidelines do not provide clear direction on the safe, maximum duration of continuous work that can be performed before heat-mitigation controls ...
