The impact of air speed and direction on metabolic rate and skin temperature. Why running indoors on a treadmill misses important energetic and thermophysiological effects when no relevant air speed is applied. Now available in its final version.

In a world-first experiment, researchers at @HeatHealth_USYD are testing how much heat the human body can endure.
As the planet warms, understanding these deadly thresholds has never been more crucial.

That's a wrap. Fabulous week in Phoenix @ASUGlobalFuture to share best practices, local challenges, community efforts, & #collaborative research on all things #heat, #health, & #adaptation. Temps were high, goals were set, and fun was had by all. Thanks to @HeatReadyPHX + others!

At @HeatHealth_USYD, @ollie_jay13's team is using a state-of-the-art climate chamber to investigate the conditions under which heat threatens life, and the best ways to stay cool and safe.

🚨 Almost half a billion children live in areas experiencing at least twice as many extremely hot days as their grandparents.
New @UNICEF data analysis highlights the disproportionate impact of heat on children:

The impact of air resistance on runners:
"In the context of middle-distance running, headwind created by running at 21.5 km.h-1 would result in a 2.2% increase of V̇O2. A relative tailwind of the same speed would lead to a 3.1% reduction."

New equations derived from a custom-built wind tunnel show a 2.2% higher metabolic demand with a headwind and a 3.1% lower metabolic demand with a tailwind while running at 13.4 mph.
Neat work from @EERC_lboro et al.
