Applying thermal therapy: Comparison of different commercially available heating devices to increase muscle temperature

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although various medical devices are available for the purpose of heat therapy, their effect on muscle temperature remains unclear. This study compared the effects of a water‐perfused suit (WPS), short‐wave diathermy (SWD) and hot‐water immersion (HWI) on muscle, core and skin temperatures, along with perceived thermal discomfort.

Metabolic pattern across energy imbalance: An exploratory metabolomics study of female body weight extremes including anorexia nervosa and athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In anorexia nervosa (AN), prolonged metabolic adaptation to severe energy deficiency can impair treatment efficacy. Similarly, low energy availability poses a recognized risk to athletes, potentially compromising health and performance. This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterize the plasma metabolic pattern of females with varying ...

Whole‐body hot water immersion effect on cerebral haemodynamics and subsequent cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract To test the hypothesis that hot water immersion (HWI) improves cerebrovascular function via shear‐mediated mechanisms, this study determined cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide (CVRCO2${\mathrm{CV}}{{\mathrm{R}}_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) before and after 60 min of 39°C HWI and a 21°C air control (CON) in 15 healthy ...

Sex differences in the prefrontal cortex and muscle oxygenation during exercise until exhaustion in endurance‐trained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the decline in oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex of women is striking. This crucial brain area is directly involved in planning motor tasks. The decline is particularly pronounced at higher exercise intensities, especially after reaching the respiratory compensation point or anaerobic ...

Changes in PGF2alpha secretion during prolonged luteal phase in mares

, 2000
The aim of this study was to characterize changes in PGF2alpha secretion in mares with persistent corpora lutea that were induced by administering altrenogest during oestrus.

Quantifying microvascular responses to local heating using optical coherence tomography: Comparison between skin sites and sex differences

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design, metholodgy, results and conclusions. Abstract Due to a lack of technical capacity to directly visualise and quantify microvessels in the skin, little is known regarding regional and/or sex differences. We compared diameter, velocity, flow and density at four regional sites using a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT ...

Myths and methodologies: Optimising experimental rigour in heat adaptation research: Menstrual status classification and scheduling approaches

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Women remain underrepresented in thermal physiology research, particularly within studies examining physiological adaptation to hot environments. Among the limited research that includes female participants, few studies have appropriately classified menstrual status of their participants or rigorously accounted for ovarian hormone influences ...

Passive heat intervention research in women: Systematic review and audit of female representation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive heat interventions (PHIs) are non‐exercise heat‐acclimation strategies that improve physiological markers associated with heat tolerance and reduce vulnerability to heat‐related illness, when exercise is not feasible. However, representation of female participants within this literature remains unclear.
