Few data, however, are available regarding the physiologic responses to shipboard fires. Therefore, the purpose of this report was to determine physiologic responses of simulated shipboard firefighting tasks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nineteen subjects (age: 24\u2009\u00b1\u20095 y, V\u02d9O2peak: 44.9\u2009\u00b1\u20097.2 mL\u2009\u00b7\u2009kg\u22121\u2009\u00b7\u2009min\u22121) performed firefighting tasks in protective garments and breathing apparatus. After completing each task, heart rate (HR), core temperature (TC), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), and physiological strain index (PhSI) were measured. The tasks began with walking 80 m followed by carrying two 20 kg buckets up and down a flight of stairs. Subjects then completed circuits of lifting, striking, and pulling tasks in an environmental chamber heated to 40\u2009\u00b0C, 41% relative humidity. The circuit was repeated until volitional fatigue, or if a stopping criterion was met.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Subjects were in the simulated shipboard firefighting protocol for 1432\u2009\u00b1\u2009516 seconds.

PhSI was different from baseline starting at circuit 2 (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.01).
