متن کاملWet bulb globe temperature index and performance in competitive distance runners.
In 1974 two sets of heat stress guidelines, each based on the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index, were designed for men's National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship Division I distance running competitions. One set of guidelines was established to minimize the chance of heat injury during distance running events. A second set was designed to predict heat stress related pe...
