Neoprene thigh sleeves and muscle cooling after exercise.

Context: Neoprene sleeves are alleged to increase heat in skeletal muscle, but no published research supports this belief.

Objectives: To quantify anterior thigh skin and intramuscular temperature changes in varsity athletes wearing a neoprene thigh sleeve.

Design: A 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 factorial design with replicated measures on 3 variables.
