ROCKVILLE, Maryland, April 3 -- The American Physiological Society issued the following news:
Research suggests that wearing water-soaked clothing in hot, humid weather may be an inexpensive and effective way to provide cooling and reduce the risk of heat strain in older adults. The first-of-its-kind study, which also provides counterintuitive results regarding the use of electric fans for cooling, is published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. It was chosen as an APSselect arti . . .
