What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- While an indoor upper temperature limit of 26 °C has been shown to protect heat-vulnerable older adults (DOI: 10.1289/EHP11651), this guideline has not been verified in young, habitually active adults. Public health recommendations during hot weather typically emphasize staying in cool environments, avoiding strenuous activity, wearing lightweight clothing, and maintaining adequate hydration.
