Partial cooling of the upper body with a water-cooled vest in an environment exceeding body temperature

CONCLUSIONS: Partial cooling showed a body cooling effect similar to that of whole upper body cooling. Partial body cooling promoted the heat dissipation, suggesting that partial cooling is efficient for maintaining body cooling in hot environments.PMID:37024445 | PMC:PMC10079649 | DOI:10.1002/1348-9585.12396
