Our secondary objective was to optimize the practicality of the PHSFL by incorporating knowledge from other ISO standards and published literature. The third objective of this study was to assess: (i) the criterion-related validity of the PHSFL by comparing its results against those obtained using the original ISO 7933:2018 code; and (ii) the construct validity of the PHSFL by comparing its results against those obtained via field experiments performed in human participants during work in the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Our analysis for criterion validity demonstrates that PHSFL provides valid results within the required computational accuracy, according to Annex F of ISO 7933:2018. The construct validity showed that root mean square errors (RMSE) and 95% limits of agreement (LOA) were minimal between measured and predicted core temperature (RMSE: 0.3\u00b0C; LOA: 0.06 \u00b1 0.58\u00b0C) and small between measured and predicted mean skin temperature (RMSE: 1.1\u00b0C; LOA: 0.59 \u00b1 1.83\u00b0C). In conclusion, the PHSFL software demonstrated strong criterion-related and construct-related validity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/indhealth\/57\/6\/57_2018-0216\/_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/indhealth\/57\/6\/57_2018-0216\/_article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Download PDF:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A-free-software-to-predict-heat-strain-according-to-the-ISO-7933-2018_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A-free-software-to-predict-heat-strain-according-to-the-ISO-7933-2018_2019.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ioannou LG, Tsoutsoubi L, Mantzios K, Flouris AD.
