- Section I -The physiology of heat stress: 1. Basics of thermoregulation -Heat stress and strain -Heat exchange and its determinants (clothing) -Thermoregulation theory (set-point, null zone, thermoeffector coordination) 2. Cardiovascular function in the heat -Acute vascular response – skin, cerebral, muscle and splanchnic blood flow -Acute cardiac response – contractile properties and function, baroreflexes -Acute respiratory response – oxygen affinity and aerobic capacity 3. Central nervous system function in the heat -Central nervous system – Muscle activation, cerebral activity, cognitive function -Perception – perceived exertion, thermal comfort and sensation -Pharmacological intervention and neurotransmission 4. Skeletal muscle function in the heat -Peripheral nervous system – neuromuscular junction <-Substrate utilization -Muscle contractile properties Section II- Illnesses and countermeasures: 5. Exertional heat illness -Heat illness definition and continuum -Pathophysiology of heat illness -Epidemiology and risk factors -Treatment 6.
