Background: Regulation of core body temperature (Tc) can cause significant cardiovascular strain, leading to impaired performance, incapacitation and occupational hazard during work in the heat. Where continuous Tc and heart rate (HR) monitoring is not possible (e.g. during firefighting or on military operations), safer working could result from intermittent sampling of an integrated measure of physiological strain.Aims: To assess the relationship betwee...
