Core body temperatures of rats subjected to treadmill exercise to fatigue or exhaustion: The journal Temperature toolbox.

ABSTRACT: This study systematically reviewed the literature reporting the changes in rats' core body temperature (T_CORE) induced by either incremental- or constant-speed running to fatigue or exhaustion. In addition, multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the factors contributing to the T_CORE values attained when exercise was interrupted. Four databases (EMBASE, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science) were searched in October 2021, and this search was updated in August 2022. Seventy-two studies (n = 1,538 rats) were included in the systematic review. These studies described heterogeneous experimental conditions; for example, the ambient temperature ranged from 5 to 40°C. The rats quit exercising with T_CORE values varying more than 8°C amon
