Abstract:Environmental heat stress poses significant physiological challenge and impairs exercise performance. We investigated the impact of wrist percooling on running performance and physiological and perceptual responses in the heat. In a counterbalanced design, 13 trained males (33 ± 9 years, 15 ± 7% body fat, and maximal oxygen consumption, VO2max 59 ± 5 mL/kg/min) completed three 10 km running time trials (27 °C, 60% relative humidity) while wearing two cooling bands: (1) both bands were off (off/off), (2) one ba… Show more
“…Most of the articles published in this Special Issue focused on the relation between physical performance and physiological and morphological features [13][14][15][16]. Four papers investigated body composition in sports practice [17][18][19][20], while two articles evaluated new strategies aimed at improving and monitoring the recovery phase after the exercise [21,22].…”

“…Specifically, this ativity has been proposed to be used when highintensity voluntary conditioning contractions lead to enhancement in voluntary muscular performance, and therefore activation is produced in different ways as with post-activation potentiation. Denby et al [15] demostrated that wrist percooling during a 10 km timeto-trial in the heat resulted in a faster self-selected running speed and higher heart rates, though thermal sensation or perceptions of effort were unaffected. Valamatos and coworkers [16] identified several biomechanical determinants for sprinters.…”

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.
