The Effects of Intermittent Hand Cooling on Internal Body Temperature, Exercise Performance, and Inflammatory Cytokines During Hyperthermic Exercise
Year: 2014
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Limited research exists regarding peripheral hand cooling (HC) modalities with negative pressure during American football and it is unclear if reductions in internal body temperature will positively influence, perceptual measures, athletic performance, and circulating inflammatory cytokines. Two separate research studies, an environmental controlled laboratory and an observational field study, examined HC while wearing a full American football uniform. Study#1: Rectal temperature was significantly decreased from minute 66 through post-exercise in the HC with fluid condition (p
