This Advantage Report is an abstract of a larger study by the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta designed to evaluate the effects of selected safety headwear products. Three conditions were compared: no helmet, a standard helmet, and helmet with side impact protection. Thermal responses to exercise and the effects of exercise induced thermal stress and fatigue were investigated.
