Abstract

We aimed to compare rectal temperature (Trec) and gastro-intestinal temperature (TGI) during passive heating and subsequent recovery with and without ice slurry ingestion. Twelve males (age: 25 ± 4 years, body mass index: 25.7 ± 2.5 kg m-2) were immersed in hot water on two occasions (Trec elevation: 1.82 ± 0.08°C). In the subsequent 60-min recovery in ambient conditions, participants ingested either 6.8 g kg-1 of ice slurry (-0.6°C, ICE) or control drink (37°C, CON). During passive heating, Trec was lower than TGI (P rec was higher than TGI (P rec and TGI differed during both heating and recovery, and less favourable agreement between Trec and TGI was found in the recovery from passive heating with or without ice slurry ingestion.
