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." journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Great to share low-cost and sustainable alternatives to air-conditioning with primary school children (aged 7 to 11) from across NSW today! The ice towels were a fan favourite, closely followed by self-dousing! Always a pleasure disseminating the work of Heat and Health Research Incubator.

That's a wrap. Fabulous week in Phoenix ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory 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!

In a world-first experiment, researchers at Heat and Health Research Incubator are testing how much heat the human body can endure. As the planet warms, understanding these deadly thresholds has never been more crucial. ABC News @TyneTynelogan abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…

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. journals.physiology.org/doi/pdf/10.115…
