About this study
The purpose of this study is to determine differences in physiological recovery between two consecutive days of simulated fire suppression work. The secondary purpose is to determine differences in heat gain and heat loss between two consecutive days of simulated fire suppression work. Subjects will complete two consecutive days of simulated structural firefighting shift work, 24 hours apart. Before and after each laboratory visit, subjects will continuously wear a Holter monitor and ambulatory blood pressure monitor to quantify parasympathetic tone and recovery from work.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
2 days of work heat stressOther
2 consecutive days of identical simulated structural firefighting tasks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Consecutive work | Experimental | Subjects will complete 2 consecutive days of simulated firefighting tasks in the heat. The simulated work consists of 20 minutes of simulated structural work in a hot environment, followed by 20 minutes of seated rest in a temperate room, mimicking a typical recovery period in structural firefighting. Subjects then re-enter the environmental chamber and complete 23 minutes of simulated overhaul work in a temperate environment. Receives: Other: 2 days of work heat stress |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 2 days of work heat stress in people with Hyperthermia and Fatigue; Heat, run by State University of New York at Buffalo at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Core temperature (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jul 2022.
