This study supports that female runners should have their iron levels checked and should consider diets rich in iron that is readily absorbed and utilized by the body like heme iron found in red meats.

The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of the BEX Runner palm cooling device during a combination of exercise and environmental heat stress. Twelve subjects completed two randomly ordered time-to-exhaustion runs at 75% VO2max, 30 °C, and 50% relative humidity with and without palm cooling. Time to exhaustion runs started once the warm-up had elicited a core temperature of 37.5 °C. Heart rate, Rating of Perceived Exertion, Feeling Scale, and core temperature were recorded at 2-min intervals during each run. Time to exhaustion was longer in control than treatment (46.7±31.1 vs. 41.3±26.3 min, respectively, p<0 .05="" 0.048="" 54.5="" a="" analysis="" and="" attenuate="" between="" bex="" conditions="" control="" cooling="" core="" device="" did="" difference="" different="" during="" eliminate="" even="" exercise="" exhaustion="" for="" hot="" however="" in="" included="" increase="" min-1="" min="" no="" not="" of="" or="" p="" palm="" rate-of-rise="" reduced.="" respectively="" rise="" run="" runner="" temperature.="" temperature="" the="" there="" time="" to="" total="" treatment="" trials="" use="" vs.="" warm-up="" was="" when="" with="">
