Solar radiation is a physical phenomenon which interacts with any human being throughout its life on earth. This interaction is associated with numerous physiological functions, as well as a broad spectrum of deleterious effects on human health and wellbeing. The aim of this study is to elucidate the effects of solar radiation on human function and cognition in environmental conditions characterized by the same thermal stress.
