abstract="The effects of individual protective ensembles and workloads on personnel's physiological heat strain were experienced by personnel in a hot environment (35 degrees C, 55% relative humidity). Six young males performed treadmill tests at both moderate (ML: 1.11 m/s, 5% grade) and heavy (HL: 1.34 m/s, 5% grade) workloads. They wore three levels of protective ensembles: protective mask only (PM), protective clothing only (PC), and full protective ensembles (FP). Tests lasted 60 min and 45 min, respectively, for ML and HL. Physiological measurements included heart rate (HR), rectal (Tre) and skin (Tsk) temperature, sweat rate (SR), and sweat evaporative rate (ER). Differences between the ensembles and the workloads were significant for HR responses. The increase rate in Tre and Tsk, and SR, ER were significantly reduced from PM and PC to FP condition during ML and Hl tests. The sweat evaporation restriction of ensembles and the increase of heat production from exercise are the main factors of enhancing the heat strain.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
