Observational study reveals cognitive impairments in soldiers post-exertional heat injury, suggesting enhanced diagnostics improve operational safety.
HI individuals exhibited substantial impairments in vigilance and mood during the HTT, despite achieving physiological recovery. Incorporating brief cognitive and affective metrics into post-EHI assessments enhances the diagnostic sensitivity of the HTT and may inform return-to-duty decisions in both military and civilian contexts where thermal strain compromises operational performance.
