ergogenic. Presently, responses to L-menthol mouth rinsing during intermittent sprint …

Oral l-menthol reduces thermal sensation, increases work-rate and extends time to exhaustion, in the heat at a fixed rating of perceived exertion

TR Flood, M Waldron, O Jeffries - European journal of applied physiology, 2017 - Springer
Purpose The study investigated the effect of a non-thermal cooling agent, l-menthol, on

capsaicin co-application or (iii) placebo cream on exercise tolerance, thermal perception …

Relieving thermal discomfort: Effects of sprayed L‐menthol on perception, performance, and time trial cycling in the heat

MJ Barwood, J Corbett, K Thomas… - … journal of medicine & …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
L‐menthol stimulates cutaneous thermoreceptors and induces cool sensations improving
thermal comfort, but has been linked to heat storage responses; this could increase risk of …

A 0.1% L-Menthol mouth swill in elite male rugby players has different effects in forwards and backs

ML Jerram, D Baker, TB Smith… - … journal of sports …, 2023 - journals.humankinetics.com
Purpose: Menthol mouth swills can improve endurance performance in the heat, which is
attributed to attenuations in nonthermally derived thermal sensation (TS) and perception of …

Spraying with 0.20% L-Menthol does not enhance 5k running performance in the heat in untrained runners

MJ Barwood, J Corbett… - Journal of Sports …, 2014 - researchportal.port.ac.uk
