  • Title: Physical characteristics cannot be used to predict cooling time using cold-water immersion as a treatment for exertional hyperthermia.
    Author: Poirier MP, Notley SR, Flouris AD, Kenny GP.
    Journal: Appl Physiol Nutr Metab; 2018 Aug; 43(8):857-860. PubMed ID: 29529383.
    Abstract:
    We examined if physical characteristics could be used to predict cooling time during cold water immersion (CWI, 2 °C) following exertional hyperthermia (rectal temperature ≥39.5 °C) in a physically heterogeneous group of men and women (n = 62). Lean body mass was the only significant predictor of cooling time following CWI (R2 = 0.137; P < 0.001); however, that prediction did not provide the precision (mean residual square error: 3.18 ± 2.28 min) required to act as a safe alternative to rectal temperature measurements.
