Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Participation in the 4 days marches in Nijmegen Aged 18 or older

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: There are no exclusioncriteria, similar as the organisation of the 4 days marches in Nijmegen has no exclusioncriteria. If we would include exclusion criteria we cannot extrapolate our findings to the relevant group (participants of the 4 days marches in Nijmegen).

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Heart rate, blood pressure and core temperature are the endpoints used for the cardiovascular and thermic factors. To assess the metabolic factors, hematocrit, glucose, proteins and natrium will be determined from blood and urine samples. These are the most important end points to determine the physiological stress on the participants during the 4 days marches in Nijmegen.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Potential internal and external factors will be examined that possibly influence the physiological stress during the marches. On the day before the marches, we determine the most important subject characteristics (weight, height, blood pressure, fat percentage, drug use, history of health status). Furthermore, subjects will fill out a questionnaire on each walking day to monitor changes in clothing and the intake of food and fluids. In addition, in collaboration with a meteorological organisation, we receive continuous information regarding air temperature, humidity and air pressure.	—
