Core Body Temperatures in Intermittent Sports: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperthermia (and associated health and performance implications) can be a significant problem for athletes and teams involved in intermittent sports. Quantifying the highest thermal strain (i.e. peak core body temperature [peak T_c]) from a range of intermittent sports would enhance our understanding of the thermal requirements of sport and assist in making informed decisions about training or match-day interventions to reduce thermally induced harm and/or performance decline.

Objective

The objective of this systematic review was to synthesise and characterise the available thermal strain data collected in competition from intermittent sport athletes.

Methods

A systematic literature search was performed on Web of Science, MEDLINE, and SPORTDiscus
