Journal Article

Validity of devices that assess body temperature during outdoor exercise in the heat.

TL;DR: Compared with rectal temperature, gastrointestinal temperature was the only measurement that accurately assessed core body temperature and, therefore, Oral, axillary, aural, temporal, and field forehead temperatures were significantly different from rectal temperatures and are considered invalid for assessing hyperthermia in individuals exercising outdoors in the heat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exertional heat stroke: new concepts regarding cause and care.

TL;DR: Important issues related to EHS cause and care are addressed, including predisposing factors, errors in care, physiology of cold water immersion, and return-to-play or duty considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Rectal and Aural Core Body Temperature Thermometry in Hyperthermic, Exercising Individuals: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: The T(re) was consistently greater than T(au) when T(core) was measured in hyperthermic individuals before, during, and postexercise, and Clinicians should be aware of this critical difference in temperature magnitude between these measurement techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of hydration biomarkers including salivary osmolality during passive and active dehydration.

TL;DR: The efficacy of indices to detect dehydration ⩾2% differed across treatments, and findings indicate hydration biomarkers should be selected by considering daily activities.
