Hyperthermia leads to hyperventilation and associated cerebral hypoperfusion, both of which may impair heat tolerance.
Our study indicates that during prolonged exercise in the heat, pre-exercise ice slurry ingestion reduces exercise ventilation primarily due to decreases in core rather than gastrointestinal temperature, and increases middle cerebral artery mean blood velocity. However, the enhancement of endurance performance in the heat with pre-exercise ice slurry ingestion may depend on the presence of accompanying adverse effects.
