| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The decline in exercise performance in hot environments is primarily due to excessive increases in core body temperature, making strategies to suppress this rise critical. However, the effectiveness of body cooling strategies in women, particularly those whose resting core body temperature increases depending on their menstrual cycle, remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of pre-cooling with ice slurry ingestion on thermo physiological and subjective indices during endurance exercise in hot environments, focusing on women with normal menstrual cycles at different phases of their cycle.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
暑熱環境下における運動時の冷却効果を検討することは、暑熱環境下で安全にかつ高いパフォーマンス発揮を行うため対策を講じるために重要な知見となる。また女性の月経周期に伴う身体冷却効果を検討することは、暑熱環境下における女性固有のコンディショニング方法の提案に繋がると期待できる。さらに、運動中の身体冷却は、アスリートだけでなく学校現場における部活動や体育の授業中の熱中症対策方法の提案にもつながり、本研究で得られた知見はスポーツ場面における熱中症予防の一助となり得る。
