Thermal Physiology + The Environment
Do you prefer the hot desert or humid topics? Dry and humid heat stress the body through different physiological pathways, yet both can produce body core temperature rise. Research highlights how the combination of sweat evaporation, environmental humidity, and metabolic heat determine whether we maintain safe temperatures or enter dangerous thermal territory.
Temperature can be more personal than we realize. From sun-baked parking lots to shady parks, in this post we explore the science of how microclimates shape the heat burden we experience.
In this article we break down the concept of “power” in the context of our metabolism and thermal regulation to explain how Qore Performance products provide a superhuman thermoregulatory advantage.
Part 2 of our heat stress in the workplace series. Extreme heat affects businesses by decreasing worker productivity and increasing workplace accidents- with ever-increasing implications as businesses contend with longer, hotter, and more frequent heatwaves.
Part 1 of our heat stress in the workplace series. This article explores a fictional warehouse worker's heat stroke to illustrate how personal and environmental risk factors accumulate to create a life-threatening emergency.
