Attention: Female Participants Wanted for a Research Study
We are currently in the process of recruiting female participants for a study entitled “Validation of internal body temperature and physiological measures during exercise and rest”. This study aims to collect physiological data (core temperature, skin temperature, heart rate) during exercise in a hot environment with different clothing ensembles and workout intensities.
