Exercise-induced increases in core body temperature could negative impact performance
and may lead to development of heat-related illnesses. The use of cooling techniques prior …

Abstract Models of endurance performance now recognise input from the brain, including an
athlete's ability to cope with various non-pleasurable perceptions during exercise, such as …

It is well established that endurance performance is negatively affected by environmental
heat stress due to a complex interaction of physical, physiological and psychological …

Objectives Menthol is an organic compound with non-thermal cooling properties that has
been shown to relieve thermal strain associated with exercise in the heat; however, its …

The application of menthol has recently been researched as a performance-enhancing aid
