Abstract

Strenuous exercise in the heat places real challenges on thermoregulatory processes, body's physiological responses and cognitive load. In order to reduce the detrimental effect of heat strain and optimise exercise tolerance whilst exercising in the heat, cooling strategies have been widely opted. This thesis introduces a novel approach to investigating the effectiveness of head cooling cap and/or crushed ice ingestion on cognitive performance whilst exercising in the heat. Collectively, the findings from this thesis improve understanding of the effectiveness of head cooling and crushed ice ingestion either applied single or in combination on cognitive performance during exercise in the heat.
