Open AccessEffect of hyperthermia on simulated muscle activation in female when crossing obstacle
It is well known that hyperthermia greatly impairs neuromuscular function and dynamic balance. However, whether a greater level of hyperthermia could potentially alter the lower limb simulated muscle activatio...

Caffeine intake enhances peak oxygen uptake and performance during high-intensity cycling exercise in moderate hypoxia
We investigated whether caffeine consumption can enhance peak oxygen uptake ( \({\dot{\text{V}}\text{O}}_{{\text{2peak}}}\) ...

Open AccessThe effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on bilateral asymmetry and joint angles of the lower limb for females when crossing obstacles
Gait asymmetry is often accompanied by the bilateral asymmetry of the lower limbs. The transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) technique is widely used in different populations and scenarios as a potent...

Indoor Thermal Comfort Assessment Using Human Trials
Thermal comfort dictates our alliesthesia and behavioural responses in indoor environments with the primary aim of maintaining the thermal homeostasis of our human body. The recent advances in neurophysiology ...

Open AccessDo E2 and P4 contribute to the explained variance in core temperature response for trained women during exertional heat stress when metabolic rates are very high?
Women remain underrepresented in the exercise thermoregulation literature despite their participation in leisure-time and occupational physical activity in heat-stressful environments continuing to increase. H...

Open AccessHead, Face and Neck Cooling as Per-cooling (Cooling During Exercise) Modalities to Improve Exercise Performance in the Heat: A Narrative Review and Practical Applications
It is well known that uncompensable heat stress greatly impairs endurance and team sport-related performance because an increase in the core temperature directly induces a greater magnitude of the central fati...

Differences in dry-bulb temperature do not influence moderate-duration exercise performance in warm environments when vapor pressure is equivalent
Recent studies have determined that ambient humidity plays a more important role in aerobic performance than dry-bulb temperature does in warm environments; however, no studies have kept humidity constant and ...
