Introduction: Hyperthermia impairs various physiological functions and physical
performance. We examined the effects of cutaneous administration with an over-the-counter …

Purpose Menthol is known to elicit opposing thermoregulatory and perceptual alterations
during intense exercise. The current purpose was to determine the thermoregulatory and …

Methods Ten male subjects participated in this study. The exercise protocol consisted of 15
min rest on a cycle ergometer at air temperature (T a) of 23 C and relative humidity (RH) of …

We hypothesized that menthol application on the skin would enhance vasoconstriction of
subjects immersed in cool water, which would reduce heat loss and rectal temperature (Tre) …

Hyperthermia impairs physical performance and, when prolonged, results in heat stroke or
other illnesses. While extensive research has investigated the effectiveness of various …

Introduction In warm conditions topical application of menthol increases cool sensations and
influences deep body temperature. The purpose of this experiment was to explore whether …

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of skin surface menthol application on rectal
temperature (Tre) during prolonged immersion in cool and cold water. We hypothesized that …

Background Topical application of menthol is a popular form of cold therapy and chemically
triggers cold receptors and increases cutaneous blood flow. However, although cutaneous …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of menthol application according
to the amount of surface area on physiological and psychological heat strains, along with …

We determined the effects of topically applied (i) isolated menthol cream,(ii) menthol and
capsaicin co-application or (iii) placebo cream on exercise tolerance, thermal perception …
