Combination of wet bulb globe temperature and heart rate in hot climatic conditions: The practical guidance for a better estimation of the heat strain

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the combined application of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and physiological strain Iindices based on heart rate (PSI HR ) for the estimation of heat strain, in hot climatic conditions. Materials and Methods: This cross - sectional study was conducted on...
