简要总结
Combat soldiers are required to perform under strenuous physical conditions; hence, their physical fitness is a crucial factor in their survivability.
The Auxiliary Device- "Minkal", is suggested (by its manufactures) to be able to reduce the soldiers' physiological strain by lowering the absolute load being carried by the soldier. As a result, it may improve the soldier's physiological abilities and performance through enduring missions with heavy loads, and may lead to better protection on the soldier from overuse injuries.

结局指标
主要结局
Physiological Load with and without the auxiliary device
时间窗: 6 days for each patient.
The physiological load will be measured using a heat tolerance test(HTT). Each paricipant will undergo a HTT 5 times (in different days). first day- without load. second day- with back load of 40% of the body weight. third day- with back load of 40% of the body weight and the Auxilairy Device. fourth day- with back load of 60% of the body weight. fifth day- with back load of 60% of the body weight and the Auxilairy Device. The rectal temperature, skin teperature and heart rate will be mesured in each HTT and compered afterwards to assess the physiological load.
次要结局
- Rectal temperature(6 days)
- Skin temperature(6 days)
- Heart Rate(6 days)
- Sweat Rate(6 days)
