The effect of cooling prior to and during exercise on exercise performance and capacity in the heat: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Exercise is impaired in hot, compared to moderate, conditions. The development of hyperthermia is strongly linked to the impairment and as a result, many different strategies have been investigated to combat this. This meta-analysis focused on one of the
