Upon reaching 39.5 \u00b0C rectal temperature (Tre), participants recovered either via IWI in 2 \u00b0C water or via natural recovery (seated in a ~29 \u00b0C environment) until T re returned to 38 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Results: Cooling rates were greater in the IWI [Tre: 0.24 \u00b0C min(-1); esophageal temperature (Tes): 0.24 \u00b0C min(-1)] than the natural recovery (Tre and Tes: 0.03 \u00b0C min(-1)) conditions (p &lt; 0.001) with no differences between the two moderate and the two low intensity conditions (p &gt; 0.05). Cooling rates for T re and T es were greater in the 39.0-38.5 \u00b0C (Tre: 0.19 \u00b0C min(-1); Tes: 0.31 \u00b0C min(-1)) compared with the 39.5-39.0 \u00b0C (Tre: 0.11 \u00b0C min(-1); Tes: 0.13 \u00b0C min(-1)) period across conditions (p &lt; 0.05). Similar reductions in heart rate and mean arterial pressure were observed during recovery across conditions (p &gt; 0.05), albeit occurred faster during IWI. Percent change in plasma volume at the end of natural recovery and IWI was 5.96 and 9.58%, respectively (p &lt; 0.001).<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: The intensity of physical work performed and, thus, the time taken to reach hyperthermia does not affect the effectiveness of either IWI treatment or natural recovery. Therefore, while the path to hyperthermia may be different for each patient, the path to recovery must always be immediate IWI treatment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25118838\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25118838\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flouris AD, Wright-Beatty HE, Friesen BJ, Casa DJ, Kenny GP.
