Abstract
On two separate occasions, eight subjects controlled treadmill speed to run the greatest distance possible in 30 min in a hot, humid environment (ambient temperature 32°C, relative humidity 60%). For the experimental test(precooling), exercise was preceded by cold-water immersion. Precooling increased the distance run by 304 ± 166 m (P PKeywords
