Experimental design of the laboratory simulation trial with standardized strenuous infantry activities conducted in an environmentally controlled chamber. A randomized crossover experimental design was implemented in which treatments were hot, cold, temperate (with strenuous physical activities) and sedentary. Treatments 1–4 refer to the 8 h-long experimental treatments in the temperature- and humidity-controlled environmental chamber. The red dashed arrows represent the consumption of usual diets at home (this information is not presented in this manuscript). The solid red arrows represent days that participants consumed field rations at home. The following were collected and/or measured at the study visit: session A (informed consent), B (sociodemographic/anthropometric information, maximal oxygen consumption, PARQ+), C (body composition and urinary/blood biomarkers) and D, E, F, G (urinary and blood biomarkers and completion of questionnaires)
