Thermoregulatory And Exercise Performance : Responses To Cooling With Ice Slurry Ingestion, Rodney Siegel
Thermoregulatory And Exercise Performance : Responses To Cooling With Ice Slurry Ingestion, Rodney Siegel
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The rise in body core, skin and muscle temperatures associated with exercise
in hot environments (~30°C and above) is known to impair performance over a
variety of exercise modes and durations. Precooling has become a popular strategy to
combat this impairment, as evidence has shown it to be an effective method for
lowering pre-exercise core temperature, increasing heat storage capacity and
improving exercise performance in the heat. To date, the majority of precooling
manoeuvres are achieved via external means, such as cold water immersion and the
application of cooling garments; methods which have been criticised for their lack of
practicality …
Influence Of Environmental Temperature On 40 Km Cycling Time-Trial Performance, Jeremiah J. Peiffer, Chris R. Abbiss
Influence Of Environmental Temperature On 40 Km Cycling Time-Trial Performance, Jeremiah J. Peiffer, Chris R. Abbiss
Research outputs 2011
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of environmental temperature on variability in power output, self-selected pacing strategies, and performance during a prolonged cycling time trial. Nine trained male cyclists randomly completed four 40 km cycling time trials in an environmental chamber at 17°C, 22°C, 27°C, and 32°C (40% RH). During the time trials, heart rate, core body temperature, and power output were recorded. The variability in power output was assessed with the use of exposure variation analysis. Mean 40 km power output was significantly lower during 32°C (309 ± 35 W) compared with 17°C (329 ± …
