Qatar
Aspetar
Aspetar’s clinical sports science research includes athlete responses to heat, heat-acclimation preparation, cooling countermeasures and altitude-related performance questions.
Canada
Environmental Ergonomics Lab
Brock’s Environmental Ergonomics Lab investigates how heat, cold, hydration and altitude affect human physiology and performance, applying findings to safe work, recreation and equipment design.
United Kingdom
Environmental Ergonomics Research Centre
The Environmental Ergonomics Research Centre studies human responses to heat and cold, thermal comfort, clothing, work and performance. Its facilities include climate chambers and thermal manikin testing.
Credibility by design
Expertise deserves
independent scrutiny.
Researchers submit their own profiles and evidence. At least two eligible researchers from distinct institutions independently review each application before the platform awards a peer-verified badge.
