Expanded prediction equations of human sweat loss and water needs
Richard R. Gonzalez,Samuel N. Cheuvront,Scott J. Montain,Daniel A. Goodman,Laurie A. Blanchard,Larry G. Berglund,Michael N. Sawka +6 more
TL;DR: A corrected OSE and a new msw prediction equation are developed by using independent data sets from a wide range of environmental conditions, metabolic rates, and variable exercise durations to provide for more accurate sweat predictions over a broader range of conditions with applications to public health, military, occupational, and sports medicine settings.
Methods of Evaluating Protective Clothing Relative to Heat and Cold Stress: Thermal Manikin, Biomedical Modeling, and Human Testing
Catherine O'Brien,Laurie A. Blanchard,Bruce S. Cadarette,Thomas L. Endrusick,Xiaojiang Xu,Larry G. Berglund,Michael N. Sawka,Reed W. Hoyt +7 more
TL;DR: Comprehensive evaluation of PPE begins with a biophysical assessment of materials using a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal resistance and water vapor permeability) and data may be used in biomedical models to predict thermal strain under a variety of environmental and work conditions.

Female anthropometric variability and their effects on predicted thermoregulatory responses to work in the heat.
TL;DR: Five major somatotypes, identified through multivariate analysis of anthropometric distributions, showed different tolerance levels to simulated heat stress: lean women were predicted to maintain their core temperatures lower than short-fat or tall-fat women and lean subjects maintained lower core temperatures than medium subjects.

Assessment of male anthropometric trends and the effects on simulated heat stress responses
TL;DR: Temporal changes in somatotypes of soldiers over a 16-year period had minimal impact on simulated physiological response to heat stress using a thermal regulatory model.

Model of human thermoregulation for intermittent regional cooling.
TL;DR: Simulation analysis showed that IRC has the potential to reduce power requirements and modeling is an effective alternative to predict efficacy when actual responses cannot be attempted.
