An Ice Vest, but Not Single-Hand Cooling, Is Effective at Reducing Thermo-Physiological Strain During Exercise Recovery in the Heat

Seeley, A. D., & Sherman, R. A. (2021). An Ice Vest, but Not Single-Hand Cooling, Is Effective at Reducing Thermo-Physiological Strain During Exercise Recovery in the Heat. Frontiers in sports and active living, 3, 660910. https://doi.org/10.3389/fspor.2021.660910 Introduction: Sports limit the length of breaks between halves or periods, placing substantial time constraints on cooling effectiveness. This study investigated…
