  1. Prediction of LSRupper back was conducted based on measured LSRforearm and the ratio of sudomotor sensitivity of the forearm and upper back. In this way, prediction of LSRforearm was based on the measured LSRupper back. Regional sudomotor sensitivity was brought from Smith and Havenith (2011)
  2. BH ballistic helmet, BH-NVD ballistic helmet with a night vision device, LSR local sweat rate, LSRupper back local sweat rate on the upper back, LSRforearms local sweat rate on the forearm
  3. P-value was drawn from the paired sample t-test (N = 8)
