Abstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate upper-limb cooling following (treadmill) exercise performed in the heat (33 o C, 70% relative humidity) at each of three speeds: light (6 km.h -1 ), intermediate (8 km.h -1 ) and moderate intensity (10 km.h -1 ). In all trials, exercise ceased when rectal temperature reached 39.0 o C. Participants adopted a sitting position for a 20-min recovery, and liquid-cooling sleeves with cold water (6.3 o C) were immediately positioned. The chosen work rates resulted in a two-fo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
