Neck cooling provides ergogenic benefits after heat acclimation during exercise in the heat
Neck cooling provides ergogenic effects in thermal perceptions and extends a greater improvement in time to exhaustion performance when applied after heat acclimation. These findings suggest that individuals should achieve physiological adaptation to the heat before neck cooling is introduced for perceptual or performance benefits.
