Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
expanded timed up and go	A timed test where participants stand from a chair, walk 10 m, turn, and return to the chair. Longer times indicate slower gait speed	baseline and post-heat stress, both day 1
Firefighter balance test	A timed test where participants walk an obstacle course measuring dynamic balance, having to step up/down, walk a narrow path, and duck under an obstacle. Longer times indicate worse dynamic balance.	baseline and post-heat stress, both day 1
Backward Digit Recall	A timed test where participants recall a series of numbers in reverse order. More digits indicate better recall.	baseline and post-heat stress, both day 1
Serial Sevens Subtraction	A timed test where participants count backwards from a starting value by 7s, with the more correct responses in 20 seconds indicating better cognitive ability for this task.	baseline and post-heat stress, both day 1
Serial Sevens Subtraction-Expanded Timed Up and Go Dual Task	Performance of serial sevens subtractions while performing the Expanded timed up and go test (ETUG). This test is timed (ETUG) and correct responses tabulated (subtraction).	baseline and post-heat stress, both day 1
Serial Sevens Subtraction-Firefighter Balance Test Dual Task	Performance of serial sevens subtractions while performing the Firefighter Balance Test (FFBT). This test is timed (FFBT) and correct responses tabulated (subtraction).	baseline and post-heat stress, both day 1
