Cardiovascular Responses in Burn Survivors During Exercise
Sponsor: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Summary
This project will identify the efficacy of cooling modalities aimed to attenuate excessive elevations in skin and internal body temperatures, and associated indices of cardiovascular stress, during physical activity in well-healed burn survivors. The investigators will conduct a randomized crossover design study. Non-burned control subjects and subjects who experienced burns covering 20% or more of their body surface area will be investigated. Subjects will exercise in heated environmental conditions while receiving no cooling (control) as well as skin wetting.
