NSF RAPID Infrastructure/Extreme heat

The dataset consists of accelerometer data collected from a cohort of 63 Texas firefighters between 03/29/2023 and 09/04/2023. Participants were assigned a user ID code and a serial number for their respective accelerometer. All accelerometers were configured to operate at 40hz and were given to participants at >95% battery life. The accelerometers were configured to automatically turn on at 05:00 the day prior to the start date. Accelerometers were configured to collect data for 4-weeks in order to provide a buffer to the study’s 2-week collection period. The wrist-worn GENEActiv accelerometer was used to record person-level ambient temperature, physical activity, and sleep 24 hours over 14 days for each participant
