Continuously monitoring the internal temperature of athletes during training and events is crucial in preventing heat illness and optimizing performance, but traditional means of measuring body core temperature are not feasible for everyday use due to cost, comfort, and invasiveness. An alternative to rectal and intestinal temperature has been produced by Calera®/ GreenTEG and functions to estimate body core temperature based upon skin temperature, heart rate, and inputted athlete metrics in real time. The validity of this device has not been adequately studied in women or in extreme environmental conditions that could greatly affect skin temperature, a crucial measurement used in the device’s calculation of body temperature.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 4.0thermoregulationheat stressvaliditycore body temperatureexerciseThesis/Dissertation0009-0000-4405-5167
