Effect of bilateral carotid cooling on thermal responses during tn cycling and arm cranking work due to identical oxygen consumption

摘要

1. During the control, tympanic temperature (T-ty), skin blood flow (SkBF), local sweating rate (LSR) and heart rate (FIR) of the AC were markedly higher than those of the BE. No significant differences were finally observed in rectal (T-re) and mean skin (T-sk) temperatures or oxygen uptake (VO2). In contrast, mechanical work efficiency (ME) was significantly higher in the BE than in the AC.
