Field data collected under real heatwave periods could add important evidence to understand human adaptability to extreme heat. However, field studies on human physiological responses to heatwave periods remain limited. We performed field thermo\u2010physiological measurements in a healthy 37\u2010years male undergoing resting and physical activity in an outdoor environment in the capital of Sicily, Palermo, during (July 21; highest level of local heat\u2010health alert) and following (August 10; lowest level of local heat\u2010health alert) the peak of Sicily's July 2023 heatwave. Results indicated that ~40\u2009min of outdoor walking and light running in 33.8\u00b0C Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) conditions (July 21) resulted in significant physiological stress (i.e., peak heart rate: 209\u2009bpm; core temperature: 39.13\u00b0C; mean skin temperature: 37.2\u00b0C; whole\u2010body sweat losses: 1.7\u2009kg). Importantly, significant physiological stress was also observed during less severe heat conditions (August 10; WBGT: 29.1\u00b0C; peak heart rate: 190\u2009bpm; core temperature: 38.48\u00b0C; whole\u2010body sweat losses: 2\u2009kg). These observations highlight the physiological strain that current heatwave conditions pose on healthy young individuals. This ecologically\u2010valid empirical evidence could inform more accurate heat\u2010health planning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14814\/phy2.16107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,8]],"date-time":"2024-06-08T01:59:12Z","timestamp":1717811952000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A case report on the physiological responses to extreme heat during Sicily's July 2023 heatwave"],"prefix":"10.14814","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5652-395X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Davide","family":"Filingeri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ThermosenseLab, Skin Sensing Research Group, School of Health Sciences The University of Southampton  Southampton UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Valenza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Unit, Department of Psychology, Educational Science and Human Movement University of Palermo  Palermo Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salvatore","family":"Ficarra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Unit, Department of Psychology, Educational Science and Human Movement University of Palermo  Palermo Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Filingeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, School of Psychology, College of Health, Psychology and Social Care University of Derby  Derby UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter R.","family":"Worsley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PRESSURELAB, Skin Sensing Research Group, School of Health Sciences The University of Southampton  Southampton UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonino","family":"Bianco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Unit, Department of Psychology, Educational Science and Human Movement University of Palermo  Palermo Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1289\/EHP11807"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41591\u2010023\u201002419\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","unstructured":"Climate Copernicus.
