What?  You will be asked to complete cognitive and physical performance tests and exercise in a hot and humid laboratory space each day while being monitored.  You will have standard measures of fitness and body composition measured, such as VO2max testing and body fat testing by DXA.

 

 

The information from this DoD and DARPA study will be important to understanding men and women’s performance in the military, elite sports, occupational settings, and in cases in which people are exposed to hot and humid environments with physically active requirements.

Some eligibility restrictions related to safety apply. 

Compensation provided.
