Heat illness is a recognised risk of military training. The Combat Fitness Test (CFT) has been identified as an activity that has been associated with heat casualties. The aim of this study was to establish whether a heat stress limit could be set for acclimatised soldiers performing the CFT by measuring the group mean rises in core temperature whilst performing the CFT at various environmental temperatures. The study showed that CFTs should not be undertaken when the start or expected end Wet Bulb Globe Test (WBGT) is greater than 25 degrees C if the group mean rise in core temperature is not to exceed 0.6 degree C (95% CI 0.2 degree C to 1 degree C).
热疾病是军事训练中公认的风险。战斗体能测试(CFT)已被确定为一项与热伤亡相关的活动。本研究的目的是通过测量在不同环境温度下进行CFT时核心温度的群体平均升高值,确定是否可以为适应环境的士兵进行CFT设定热应激极限。研究表明,如果核心温度的群体平均升高值不超过0.6摄氏度(95%置信区间为0.2摄氏度至1摄氏度),当起始或预期结束时的湿球黑球温度(WBGT)大于25摄氏度时,不应进行CFT。
