Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the separate and combined effects of aerobic fitness, short-term heat acclimation, and hypohydration on tolerance during light exercise while wearing nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protective clothing in the heat. Men who were moderately fit and highly fit were tested while they were euhydrated or hypohydrated through exercise & fluid restriction the day preceding the trials. Tests were conducted before and after 2 weeks of daily heat acclimation while wearing the NBC protective clothing. Results are presented & discussed with regard to: the effect of heat acclimation on sweat rate and skin & rectal temperature, tolerance time, and heart rate; effect of hypohydration on heart rate, respiratory exchange ratio, and tolerance time; and the degree of improvement in exercise-heat tolerance due to long-term aerobic fitness.
