Abstract

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="">
