Exclusion Criteria
There are no exclusioncriteria, similar as the organisation of the 4 days marches in Nijmegen has no exclusioncriteria. If we would include exclusion criteria we cannot extrapolate our findings to the relevant group (participants of the 4 days marches in Nijmegen).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Heart rate, blood pressure and core temperature are the endpoints used for the<br /><br>cardiovascular and thermic factors. To assess the metabolic factors,<br /><br>hematocrit, glucose, proteins and natrium will be determined from blood and<br /><br>urine samples. These are the most important end points to determine the<br /><br>physiological stress on the participants during the 4 days marches in Nijmegen.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Potential internal and external factors will be examined that possibly<br /><br>influence the physiological stress during the marches. On the day before the<br /><br>marches, we determine the most important subject characteristics (weight,<br /><br>height, blood pressure, fat percentage, drug use, history of health status).<br /><br>Furthermore, subjects will fill out a questionnaire on each walking day to<br /><br>monitor changes in clothing and the intake of food and fluids. In addition, in<br /><br>collaboration with a meteorological organisation, we receive continuous<br /><br>information regarding air temperature, humidity and air pressure.</p><br>
