title: Methods, advantages, and limitations of body cooling for exercise performance.
abstract: Precooling studies confirm that increasing body heat is a limiting factor during exercise. However, it seems that precooling is only beneficial for endurance exercise of up to 30-40 minutes rather than intermittent or short duration exercise.
