Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how precooling affects cycling time-trial performance in varying ambient temperatures.
- Precooling with an ice vest and sleeves improved performance significantly at higher temperatures (27°C and 35°C) but had minimal impact at 24°C.
- Findings suggest that using precooling strategies is beneficial for endurance performance when temperatures exceed 24°C, highlighting the importance of environmental conditions.
The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of different durations of skin temperature manipulation on pacing patterns and performance during a 15-km cycling time trial. Nineteen well-trained men completed three 15-km cycling time trials in 18 °C and 50% relative humidity with 4.5-km (short-heat), 9.
