Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of a heatstroke relief bag, which is relatively easy to prepare and practical, and a 10-minute cold water immersion method using a small amount (5 or 80 L) of cold water (approximately 5 degree) or tap water (approximately 20 degree) on core body temperature that has risen due to exercise in a hot environment.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The core body temperature is measured using a capsule thermometer after immersion in cold water for 10 minutes, and the cooling temperature per minute (cooling rate) is calculated and evaluated.

Key secondary outcomes

Heart rate and skin temperature are measured during cold water immersion to evaluate the relationship with core body temperature.

Interventions/Control_1

The subjects entered an environmentally controlled room set at a temperature of 40 degree and humidity of 60%, sat in a chair and rested for five minutes, then walked for three minutes on a treadmill set at a speed of 5 km/h and a 2% incline as a warm-up.
They then ran for 30 minutes on a treadmill set at a speed of 8-9 km/h and a 2% incline. After finishing the run, the subjects lay supine in a heatstroke aid bag and were immersed in water cooled to approximately 5 degree, which was poured over them at a constant rate, for a total of 10 minutes.

Interventions/Control_2

The subjects entered an environmentally controlled room set at a temperature of 40 degree and humidity of 60%, sat in a chair and rested for five minutes, then walked for three minutes on a treadmill set at a speed of 5 km/h and a 2% incline as a warm-up.
They then ran for 30 minutes on a treadmill set at a speed of 8-9 km/h and a 2% incline. After finishing the run, the subjects lay supine in a heatstroke aid bag and were immersed in 80 liters of water cooled to approximately 20 degree, which was poured over them at a constant rate, for a total of 10 minutes.

Interventions/Control_3

Subjects entered an environmentally controlled room set at a temperature of 40 degree and humidity of 60%. They sat in a chair and rested for five minutes, then performed a three-minute warm-up walk on a treadmill set at a speed of 5 km/h and a 2% incline.
Subjects then ran for 30 minutes on a treadmill set at a speed of 8-9 km/h and a 2% incline. After completing the run, subjects sat in a chair and rested for 10 minutes.
