The Effects of Metabolic Work Rate and Ambient Environment on Physiological Tolerance Times While Wearing Explosive and Chemical Personal Protective Equipment

Figure 1

Tolerance time ± SD across the different environmental conditions and work rates (). Main effect observed for environment (WBGT37 < WBGT30 < WBGT21; ), work intensity (5.5 < 4 < 2.5 kmh⁻¹; ), and their interaction . different to the same speed at WBGT 21°C ; different to 5.5 kmh⁻¹ at the same environmental condition ; different to 4 kmh⁻¹ at the same environmental condition ; different to the same speed at WBGT 30°C .
