Ingestion of a Cold Temperature/Menthol Beverage Increases Outdoor Exercise Performance in a Hot Humid Environment

摘要

PurposeA recent laboratory study demonstrated that the ingestion of a cold/menthol beverage improved exercise performance in a hot and humid environment during 20 km of all-out cycling. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether the ingestion of cold water/ice-slurry with menthol would improve performance in hot and humid outdoor conditions.
