Key points In humans, hypohydration attenuates sweat secretion and attenuates whole‐body heat loss, probably to mitigate further fluid losses and thereby support blood pressure regulation. Recently, however, we demonstrated that the hypohydration‐mediated reduction in net whole‐body heat exchange (evaporative heat loss – dry heat gain) was blunted in middle‐aged compared to younger men during moderate exercise in dry heat; albeit, the underpinning mechanisms could not …

#Heat stress and PPE during #COVID-19: impact on healthcare workers’ performance, safety and well-being in NHS settings
Personal protective equipment (PPE) can potentiate heat stress, which may have a negative impact on the wearer’s performance, safety and well-being. In view of this, a survey was distributed …
