Description
Summary:[...]it remains unknown whether sex differences exist in cooling responses when employed a feasible cooling strategy (e.g., ice slurry ingestion with a cooling vest: mixed-method cooling). [...]this study aimed to compare the cooling responses (i.e., the physiological and perceptual strain and time-trial performance) with mixed-method cooling between exercise bouts between males and females. Previous studies have suggested that females have a greater reduction in Tre during a cooling strategy than men, resulting from differences in body composition (i.e., a high percentage of body fat and low lean BM in females when BM is matched between sexes). [...]ice slurry ingestion with a cooling vest reduced Tre in females but did not improve time-trial performance.
