Exercise Study for Healthy Adults on Wildland Firefighter Strain
Protocol: STUDY00006549
Full Title
Physiological strain in wildland firefighters walking in three hot environments of equivalent wet bulb globe temperature
Description
The University at Buffalo (UB) Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences is looking for healthy adult volunteers to participate in an exercise study. The goal of the study is to look at bodily changes that wildland firefighters experience when working in different hot conditions.

This study will be completed in 4 lab visits (12 hours total) on UB’s South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Avenue). Participants will walk on a treadmill in different hot temperatures while wearing wildland firefighter gear (jacket, pants, helmet, gloves). The study team will measure heart rate and core body temperature throughout the study. Participants can earn up to $144 for completing all visits.
