Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare surface and intradermal skin temperature responses to heat stress with and without evaporative and convective cooling
Detailed Description:
Humans have important thermoregulatory responses aimed at maintaining body temperature within a narrow range These responses are driven in part by receptors located in the skin that monitor temperature changes and provide feedback to the central nervous system Given that skin temperature can affect the physiological responses to heat stress it is important to accurately measure skin temperature in response to heat stress with and without evaporative ie sweat and convective ie air flow cooling Skin temperature is most often measured on the surface of the skin however this temperature can be influenced by other factors such as the local environment It is unclear how the temperature of the skins surface compares to the temperature within the dermal layer of the skin
The study team will directly compare skin surface and intradermal temperature responses to heat stress and determine whether these responses area altered by evaporative or convective cooling methods To accomplish this objective healthy adults will be exposed to ambient heat stress no higher than 47C with and without evaporative water sprayed on the skin and convective electric fan cooling Thermoregulatory responses inclusive of skin surface and intradermal temperatures will be assessed throughout the heat trial
