Summary

The overall goal of this project is to identify a work/rest cycle that allows for faster mission completion needed in emergency situations, compared to current Army heat guidance, while mitigating heat strain and neuromuscular fatigue. This project will determine the trade-off between faster mission completion and risk of heat strain and physical performance decrements. Completion of this project will allow military leaders to make informed decisions by understanding the impact of their choices on the magnitude of physical performance decrements and expected heat casualties, setting up hot weather missions for success.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are healthy and can safely perform physical tasks in hot conditions. Specific eligibility criteria were not provided, so it's important to contact the study organizers for detailed requirements.
What is being tested?
The PREPARED trial is testing different work/rest cycles (30/30, 30/20, 20/12, and 40/30 minutes) to see which allows for faster completion of missions in heat without causing too much strain or fatigue.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include symptoms related to heat exposure such as dehydration, muscle cramps, exhaustion or more serious conditions like heat stroke if proper precautions aren't taken.
