To explore reliable methods for measuring core temperature and understand the implications of circadian rhythms on exercise performance.
Reviewed measurement techniques for core temperature including rectal and gut temperature.
Examined the role of vasodilatation in circadian rhythm formation.
Discussed purification methods to address the masking effect of the sleep-wake cycle.
Rectal and gut temperatures are valid measurements for core temperature, while insulated axilla temperature is not.
Circadian rhythms affect thermoregulation, leading to quicker body temperature rises during exercise.
Understanding these rhythms helps athletes to optimize exercise timing and minimize risks of injury.
