Exercise Study for Healthy Adults on Energy Drink use in Wildland Firefighters
Protocol: STUDY00007659
Full Title
The Effects of Energy Drink Consumption on Physiological Strain During Simulated Firefighter Work
Description
The University at Buffalo (UB) Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences is looking for healthy adult volunteers to participate in an exercise study. The goal of the study is to look at bodily changes that wildland firefighters experience when working in the heat after consuming an energy drink.

This study will be completed in 3 lab visits (8 hours total) on UB’s South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Avenue). Participants will drink an energy drink or placebo with caffeine, then walk on a treadmill in the heat while wearing wildland firefighter gear (jacket, pants, helmet, gloves). The study team will measure heart rate and core body temperature throughout the study. Participants can earn up to $120 for completing all visits.
