Physiologic and Perceptual Responses to Cold-Shower Cooling After Exercise-Induced Hyperthermia

摘要

Context: Exercise conducted in hot, humid environments increases the risk for exertional heat stroke (EHS). The current recommended treatment of EHS is cold-water immersion; however, limitations may require the use of alternative resources such as a cold shower (CS) or dousing with a hose to cool EHS patients.
