Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated three cooling methods for soldiers suffering from hyperthermia, highlighting significant differences in required water volume.
- Ten male soldiers were tested under conditions of induced hyperthermia, comparing cooling through fanning, fanning with a wet t-shirt, and a tarp-assisted cooling method that used a larger volume of water.
- Results indicated that the tarp-assisted cooling method was more effective and faster in reducing body temperature than the other methods, suggesting it could be a viable option for treating heat-related illnesses, but stressing the importance of immediate cooling methods when water supply is limited.
