Project Scope
- Conduct PPE ensemble physiologic testing in the NPPTL research physiology laboratory
- Physiologic test of conductive & convective cooling countermeasures
- Develop & test model of regional vs. global cooling countermeasures
- Incorporate data from current project and Project HEROES in the development of physiologic models and countermeasures
Milestones
- Q1 Submit two abstracts on preliminary results from cooling to ACSM annual meeting (Baltimore, 2010)
- Q2 Submit the first manuscript on data collected from cooling garment study to OD
- Q3 Submit first manuscript to journal and draft second manuscript. Present posters at ACSM
- Q4 Submit the second manuscript to OD and to the journal
