Endothermic salts integrated in impermeable suits do not reduce heat strain during exercise

The duration-dependent effect of skin temperature on self-pacing cycling exercise

Skin temperature has been suggested as a relevant physiological signal for the anticipatory and feedback control of work rate during self-paced exercise [1, 2]. However, a sudden extreme skin temperature elevation did not affect pacing during a 7.5-km cycling time trial [3]. Possible explanations for the discrepancy in these results are the...

Effects of anxiety on running with and without an aiming task

State anxiety is known to affect far aiming tasks, but less is known about the effects of state anxiety on running and aiming while running. Therefore, in the current study participants ran on a treadmill at their preferred speed in a low- and highanxiety condition. In both conditions, running was combined with dart throwing in the last minutes....

Effectiveness of YouRAction, an intervention to promote adolescent physical activity using personal and environmental feedback: A cluster RCT

Background: In this study the one and six months effects of the computer-tailored YouRAction (targeting individual level determinants) and YouRAction+e (targeting in addition perceived environmental determinants) on compliance with the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) guideline and weight status are examined. In addition the use and...

Command Agents using BML for Tactical Decision Support

Staff of the Royal Netherlands Army needs to be trained. Training is still possible when simple missions are performed during such training sessions. The higher in the hierarchy of Royal Netherlands Army, the more difficult it becomes to train the staff. Not only training is difficult, planning missions and mission rehearsal becomes more...

Temperature pill tracks rectal but not esophageal temperature during short high intensity exercise

Effect van precooling op de lichaamstemperatuur tijdens inspanning in warme omstandigheden [Effect of pre-cooling on the body temperature during physical exercise in a warm environment]

Pre-cooling is used with increasing frequency in athletics, because high core temperatures lead to deterioration in performance. This study compared the effects of two pre-cooling methods on the increase of core temperature during exercise in a warm environment. Pre-cooling was accomplished using a cold water perfused suit or by performing light...
