Abstract

Reduced physical performance has been observed following the half-time period in team sports players, likely due to a decrease in muscle temperature during this period. We examined the effects of a passive heat maintenance strategy employed between successive exercise bouts on core temperature (Tcor...

We examined the effects of a passive heat maintenance strategy employed between successive exercise bouts on core temperature (Tcore) and subsequent exercise performance. Eighteen professional Rugby Union players completed this randomised and counter-balanced study. After a standardised warm-up (WU) and 15 min of rest, players completed a repeated sprint test (RSSA 1) and countermovement jumps (CMJ). Thereafter, in normal training attire (Control) or a survival jacket (Passive), players rested for a further 15 min (simulating a typical half-time) before performing a second RSSA (RSSA 2) and CMJ&#x2019;s. Measurements of Tcore were taken at baseline, post-WU, pre-RSSA 1, post-RSSA 1 and pre-RSSA 2. Peak power output (PPO) and repeated sprint ability was assessed before and after the simulated half-time. Similar Tcore responses were observed between conditions at baseline (Control: 37.06&#xB1;0.05&#xB0;C; Passive: 37.03&#xB1;0.05&#xB0;C) and for all other Tcore measurements taken before half-time. After the simulated half-time, the decline in Tcore was lower (-0.74&#xB1;0.08% vs. -1.54 &#xB1;0.06%, p&amp;#60;0.001) and PPO was higher (5610&#xB1;105Wvs. 5440&#xB1;105W, p&amp;#60;0.001) in the Passive versus Control condition. The decline in PPO over half-time was related to the decline in Tcore (r = 0.632, p = 0.005). In RSSA 2, best, mean and total sprint times were 1.39&#xB1;0.17% (p&amp;#60;0.001), 0.55&#xB1;0.06% (p&amp;#60;0.001) and 0.55&#xB1;0.06%(p&amp;#60;0.001) faster for Passive versus Control. Passive heat maintenance reduced declines in Tcore that were observed during a simulated half-time period and improved subsequent PPO and repeated sprint ability in professional Rugby Union players.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>PLOS ONE</journal><volume>10</volume><journalNumber>3</journalNumber><paginationStart>e0119374</paginationStart><publisher/><issnElectronic>1932-6203</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>18</publishedDay><publishedMonth>3</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2015</publishedYear><publishedDate>2015-03-18</publishedDate><doi>10.1371/journal.pone.0119374</doi><url>http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0119374</url><notes>&#xA9; 2015 Russell et al.
