They wore one of the following: a partial uniform (PART) that included the National Football League (NFL) uniform without a helmet and shoulder pads; a full uniform (FULL) that included the full NFL uniform; or control clothing (CON) that included socks, sneakers, and shorts. Exercise, meals, and hydration status were controlled.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Main Outcome Measure(s):<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>We assessed sweat rate, T<jats:sub>re<\/jats:sub>, heart rate, blood pressure, treadmill exercise time, perceptual measurements, plasma volume, plasma lactate, plasma glucose, plasma osmolality, body mass, and fat mass.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>During 19 of 30 experiments, participants halted exercise as a result of volitional exhaustion. Mean sweat rate, T<jats:sub>re<\/jats:sub>, heart rate, and treadmill exercise time during the CON condition were different from those measures during the PART (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> range, .04\u2013.001; d range, 0.42\u20130.92) and FULL (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> range, .04\u2013.003; d range, 1.04\u20131.17) conditions; no differences were detected for perceptual measurements, plasma volume, plasma lactate, plasma glucose, or plasma osmolality. Exhaustion occurred during the FULL and PART conditions at the same T<jats:sub>re<\/jats:sub> (39.2\u00b0C). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures (n \u200a=\u200a 9) indicated that hypotension developed throughout exercise (all treatments). Compared with the PART condition, the FULL condition resulted in a faster rate of T<jats:sub>re<\/jats:sub> increase (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001, d \u200a=\u200a 0.79), decreased treadmill exercise time (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a .005, d \u200a=\u200a 0.48), and fewer completed exercise bouts. Interestingly, T<jats:sub>re<\/jats:sub> increase was correlated with lean body mass during the FULL condition (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> \u200a=\u200a 0.71, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a .005), and treadmill exercise time was correlated with total fat mass during the CON (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> \u200a=\u200a 0.90, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001) and PART (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> \u200a=\u200a 0.69, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a .005) conditions.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>The FULL and PART conditions resulted in greater physiologic strain than the CON condition.
