Summary

The aim of this project is to test the rate of cooling following exercise in the heat utilising the CRYOGENX Cryosuit device i) against passive cooling, and ii) to quantify the rate of cooling and compare this rate with established cooling intervention thresholds i.e. -0.11 to 0.15°C.min-1. As this project is to determine the efficacy of the intervention in populations equivalent to sporting and military personnel, these aims will be tested in young (18-40 year old) healthy male and female participants whom participate in regular physical activity. As a commercially funded project, the experimental design implemented will closely replicate that of the independent investigation into the efficacy of the CAERvest® device.

Conditions

• Body Temperature Changes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Cryogenx cooling	During the cooling phase of both trials established field based cooling approaches e.g., temperate temperature water spraying (30°C, 5 mL.min-1), and air circulation (electric fan 2 m distance, 1.7 m.s-1 will be implemented. During the CRYOGENX cooling trial, the product will be affixed to the participant's torso in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and they will receive cooling via this intervention in addition to water spraying and air circulation. During the control visit, no intervention will be applied however water spraying and air circulation will be received.
DEVICE	Regular cooling	During the cooling phase of both trials established field based cooling approaches e.g., temperate temperature water spraying (30°C, 5 mL.min-1), and air circulation (electric fan 2 m distance, 1.7 m.s-1 will be implemented. During the CRYOGENX cooling trial, the product will be affixed to the participant's torso in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and they will receive cooling via this intervention in addition to water spraying and air circulation.
