The Investigation of A Feasible Body Cooling Strategy for The Men’s Lacrosse Players Who Wear Protective Equipment During The Competition in The Heat
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.43 Vol.43】
ABSTRACT
In this study, we investigated that the effects of half-time body cooling strategy using FANwet （fan with skin wetting）， ice slurry ingestion （ICE）， and FANwet + ICE on subsequent body temperature and perceptual responses during the intermittent exercise simulated men's lacrosse match while wearing protective equipment in the heat. Ten physically active men performed following four cooling intervention in random order: FANwet condition, ICE condition, MIX condition （FANwet + ICE） and CON condition （cold drink ingestion）．Rise in rectal temperature since HT, skin temperature, thermal sensation, thermal comfort and rating of perceptual exertion were lower in FANwet and MIX condictions. However, there was no significant difference between MIX and FANwet conditions. These results indicate that body cooling strategy by FANwet can be one of the feasible and effective cooling strategies during the men's lacrosse match in the heat. However, cooling effects of ice slurry ingestion, and additional cooling effects of combined with FANwet and ice slurry ingestion were not observed in this study.
