The biophysical and physiological basis for mitigated elevations in heart rate with electric fan use in extreme heat and humidity.

Electric fan use in extreme heat wave conditions has been thought to be disadvantageous because it might accelerate heat gain to the body via convection. However, it has been recently shown that fan use delays increases in heart rate even at high temperatures (42 °C) in young adults. We here assess...
