Exercising in the heat induces thermoregulatory and other physiological strain that can lead
to impairments in endurance exercise capacity. The purpose of this consensus statement is …

Most professional and recreational athletes perform pre-conditioning exercises, often
collectively termed a 'warm-up'to prepare for a competitive task. The main objective of …

Fluids and electrolytes (sodium) are consumed by athletes, or recommended to athletes, for
a number of reasons, before, during, and after exercise. These reasons are generally to …

Background Exercise increases core body temperature (Tc), which is necessary to optimise
physiological processes. However, excessive increase in Tc may impair performance and …

Background: A majority of high profile international sporting events, including the coming
2020 Tokyo Olympics, are held in warm and humid conditions. When exercising in the heat …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of pre-exercise ice slurry ingestion and
cold water immersion on submaximal running time in the heat. On three separate occasions …

Background Precooling is a popular strategy used to combat the debilitating effects of heat-
stress-induced fatigue and extend the period in which an individual can tolerate a heat …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a cooling strategy designed to
predominately lower thermal state with a strategy designed to lower thermal sensation on …

Exercising in hot environments results in a rise in core body temperature; an effect
associated with impaired performance over a variety of exercise modes and durations …

Cold water or ice slurry ingestion during exercise seems to be an effective and practical
means to improve endurance exercise performance in the heat. However, transient …
