Overwhelming Physiological Regulation Through Personal Protection

Abstract: There is often a fine line between providing appropriate personal protection and compromising capability. In some situations, protection must come first. In other circumstances, capability becomes paramount. In the military, mission-specific objectives can force personal protection to be less than ideal. Indeed, levels of protection appropriate within the civilian context could jeopardise health and operational success, and for operations conducted in the heat involving load carriage and armored protection wit… Show more

“…As Orr (2010) has suggested, this outcome seems to have resulted more from managerial decisions than it has from recommendations made by those who must endure the added burden. One might also assume that such decisions were not always made with an adequate recognition of the fact that protective equipment and loads often represent a compromise between sustaining operational integrity and minimising the physiological impact of, and the hazards associated with, load carriage (Taylor 2015). With the ever-increasing desire for employee diversification across many industries, managers must now also recognise, when seeking to give opportunities to a wider range of people, including those with lower capabilities, that they must not place those individuals under a significantly greater physiological encumbrance.…”

“…Indeed, some ensembles resemble a closed thermodynamic system with impermeable membranes permissive to energetic, but not material, exchanges with the environment. In this state, and depending upon the ambient conditions, heat storage can approximate heat production , imposing a significant impediment to viable work durations (McLellan et al 2013;Taylor 2015;Taylor and Patterson 2016). Moreover, continued physiological attempts to lose heat can actually exacerbate the problem, with excessive sweating leading to rapid dehydration, and the depletion of body fluids and electrolytes (Patterson et al 2014), whilst cutaneous vascular engorgement (Rowell et al 1970;Fogarty et al 2004) can challenge blood pressure regulation (Taylor and Patterson 2016).…”

“…Measurements on persons wearing protective clothing used by firefighters suggested core body temperature elevations of around 0.9–1.4 °C after 90 min at 30 °C and 38 RH. Taylor [] emphasized that more demanding physical work, a topic in our future studies, will increase the likelihood of hyperthermia. Clothing may also increase the body's metabolic rate especially if it restricts joint movement when working.…”

“…Most studies used firefighters or military personnel as participants, and these were often Moreover there is a lack of consideration for the assessment of mean skin temperature, which is surprising given the crucial role of skin temperature and cutaneous blood flow in determining exercise capability, particularly at the low intensities used in these studies [206]. Relative intensity of exercise was low ranging from 50 to 75% V̇O 2peak , however, intensity was not always controlled according to internal demands (V̇O 2 , HR, the intensity corresponding to a physiological threshold (W at VT1), metabolic heat production) and was often fixed according to an external demand for every participant irrespective of fitness or body mass or surface area.…”

“…The deep body temperature chosen as a termination temperature is an example of the overemphasis placed on a single tissue temperature to determine the success of an intervention. It is more likely that the combination of exercise intensity, permeability of protective clothing and cutaneous blood flow would induce considerable cardiovascular strain and present a serious challenge to mean arterial pressure, and it is this that would determine exercise capability, rather than a fixed body temperature per se [206]. However, few studies considered these integrative effects as key variables of interest.…”
