Torso and facial/head pre-cooling and anaerobic cycling performance in a hot and humid environment
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that cooling athletes before (pre-cooling) enabled a higher level of power output developed during exercise (Tyler et al., 2015, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 47, 7-13), increased thermal comfort rates, lowered core and skin temperatures, and enabled a greater capacity of heat storage (Kay et al., 1999, Journal of Sports Sciences, 17, 937-944). However, there is in fact no consensus on the effect of precooling athletes prior to an anaerobic exercise.
