The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of exertional heat stress induced hypohydration (Graded hypohydration: 2% and 4%) on cognitive function in Human. Methodology: Six healthy military personnel (age: 25__ampersandsignplusmn;4 years, height: 172__ampersandsignplusmn;4cm, weight : 66__ampersandsignplusmn;3 Kg) performed sub-maximal exercise at 45 ?C and 30% Relative Humidity (RH) in Human Climatic Chamber (HCC) till the desired levels of hypohydration were achieved (2% or 4%). Cognition was assessed using stroop color and word test and PGI battery. Result and Conclusion: Cognitive performance was found to be unaltered upon 2% or 4% hypohydration. The cognitive function was retained under hypohydration demonstrating cognitive resilience in response to moderate body fluid deficits (up to 4%).&#13;
