Abstract:Purpose
Soccer substitutes are exposed to periods of limited activity before entering match-play, likely negating benefits of active warm-ups. This study aimed to determine the effects of using a passive heat intervention following a pre-match, and half-time warm-up, on muscle and core temperature in soccer players during ambient (18 °C) and cold (2 °C) conditions.
Methods
On four occasions, 8 male players, completed a pre-match warm-up, followed by 45 min… Show more
