Why the study?
Does prolonged exercise with hyperthermia alter cerebral oxygen-to-carbohydrate uptake ratio, dopamine, or tryptophan balances compared to exercise without hyperthermia in endurance-trained subjects?
Population
8 endurance-trained subjects
Comparison
Prolonged exercise with hyperthermia vs Prolonged exercise without hyperthermia
Design
RCT, randomized
Follow-up
during exercise and recovery

Hyperthermic exercise increases cerebral carbohydrate demand during recovery; extends evidence on brain substrate metabolism in endurance athletes.
Does prolonged exercise with hyperthermia alter cerebral oxygen-to-carbohydrate uptake ratio, dopamine, or tryptophan balances compared to exercise without hyperthermia in endurance-trained subjects?
The brain has an increased need for carbohydrates during recovery from strenuous exercise with hyperthermia, but enhanced perception of effort is not related to cerebral dopamine or tryptophan balances.
