This study is looking at how severe burn injuries affect your body's core temperature when you're doing work and rest cycles in a warm environment. Researchers want to compare people who have had serious burns (covering 20% or more of their body) with people who haven't had burns. You would spend time in a heated room (up to 40°C or 104°F) doing three cycles of exercise followed by rest. This will be done once in low humidity and once in high humidity. The main goal is to see how your core temperature changes during these cycles. To join, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and generally healthy if you haven't had burns. The study is currently recruiting 70 participants.

Study design

This is an observational study comparing burn survivors to non-burned individuals. It plans to enroll 70 participants.

What's involved

You would undergo up to three work:rest cycles in a heated environmental chamber during two separate visits. Each cycle involves 30 minutes of exercise followed by up to 20 minutes of rest.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Core temperature will be measured from the start of exercise to the end of the last rest period, approximately at 0 and 170 minutes during each visit.
