Heat Lab: Enhancing Performance & Safety
The MISSION Heat Lab at the University of Connecticut's Korey Stringer Institute focuses on enhancing human performance, endurance, and safety in high temperatures.
Pioneering Cooling Research at UConn's MISSION Heat Lab
The MISSION Heat Lab at UConn boasts a pioneering cooling area, enabling researchers to study the body's response to various cooling treatments post heat-related stress.
Creating Realistic Environments for Research
Advanced exercise bikes and treadmills, alongside advanced temperature controls, will allow researchers to replicate specific environments, from a scenic 10K New England road race to a sweltering military march. Later this year, radiant heat panels will further enhance lab simulations.
