The effects of heat stress on operator perceived workload in tracking
… Wet-bulb Globe Temperatures were 18°C (64°F) WBGT, 21°C (70°F) WBGT, 29°C (85°F) WBGT, and 34°C (93°F) WBGT. Two levels of tracking difficulty were used: easy ()λlow = 1.0 and λhigh = 2.0) and moderate (λlow = 1.0 and λhigh = 5.0). Prior research has demonstrated that both ambient temperature …

RPE "Drift" in Fit and Unfit Males Cycling in a Hot and Cool Environment
… at 30}1 degrees Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and 18}1 degrees WBGT. Heart rate (HR), rectal temperature (Tree) and overall and differentiated RPE estimations were collected every 5 minutes. Repeated measures analyses of variance showed no significant differences (p>0.05) between groups …

Comparative Analysis of Physiological Measurements and Environmental Metrics on Predicting Heat Stress Related Events
… and heat stroke. Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and heat index have historically been used to predict heat stress events, but individualized factors are not included in the measurement. It has been shown that there is a relationship between cardiovascular measurements and heat stress, which …

Opportunities and Challenges in Identification and Classification of Heat Stress Risk Based on Analysis of Individual and Neighborhood Level Factors
… Their occupational Wet Bulb Globe Temperatures (WBGT), a comprehensive heat exposure index, was estimated from either temperature from the shoe thermometers or nearby weather stations. In the second and third studies, 88 urban participants and 89 rural participants completed a seven-day …

An appraisal of experiences of climate change and adaptive response to heat stress by farmers in rural Ghana
… apart from high heat exposure in the range of WBGT 33-360C, the situation is worsened by the use of primitive equipment such as cutlasses and holes that require high physical input. The nature of heat at farmers resting places during the day falls within the threshold of 19-30.50C in WBGT, …

Evaluation of Heat Stress in Migrant Farmworkers
<p>The rate of heat-related fatalities in crop production workers is almost 20 times that of other industries. Heat stress was investigated in migrant tomato workers in July, 2012, using measurements of body temperature, heart rates, body weight loss, evaluation of the thermal environment, and …
