Abstract (EN): Heat exposure may change cognitive performance. An excessive mental load, combined with high temperature and humidity can lead rapidly to a state of fatigue. This study aims to validate a test protocol to evaluate the evolution of the fatigue with the variation of temperature and humidity. For protocol validation, tests were performed in order to verify the reproducibility of the results. It was obtained a validated protocol that ensures the desired results. It is expected that it will be a tool to predict fatigue in the workplace caused by different conditions of temperature and humidity.
