Participate in our research

Researchers at the Human Environmental

Physiology Research Unit (HEPRU) at the

University of Ottawa are currently seeking

volunteers to participate in studies assessing how the body responds to heat at rest and during exercise. We are seeking to understand how different factors such as a person’s sex, age, state of health, fitness, hydration status, acclimatization state and others can affect an individual’s tolerance to heat.

This information will inform new guidelines and heat protection strategies to safeguard health during exposure to heat. 

• Adults (18-80 years) with or without chronic health conditions (e.g., Type II diabetes, hypertension)
• Non-smokers
• All fitness levels
