Practical precooling strategies and cycling time trial performance
Whole-body precooling can improve endurance exercise performance, especially in the heat; however there are logistical considerations that restrict the use of various precooling strategies prior to actual competition. Precooling is proposed to collectively reduce deep skin and body temperature and …

Effects of external and internal precooling on sudo- and vasomotor responses and adaptations to heat acclimation
Background Heat acclimation and precooling are strategies commonly used to mitigate heat stress during exercise in the heat. Physiological adaptations during heat acclimation include lower core temperature (Tcore), lower heart rate (HR), and increased sweat output during exercise at a given …

Effects of Pre-Exercise Ice Slurry Ingestion on Physiological and Perceptual Measures in Athletes with Spinal Cord Injuries
… and decreased athletic performance. Therefore, precooling techniques that decrease T<sub>core</sub> before exercise may increase the storage capacity for metabolic heat production, thereby improving exercise performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pre-exercise …

Model identification with application to building control and fault detection
… are HVAC curtailment, optimal start, and night precooling. A general framework for model-based control of zone and whole-building operation is developed. Optimal precooling under time-of-use rates is formulated to solve the optimal fan operation sequence using a one-day control horizon with …

Experimental studies of evaporative cooling and Bose Einstein condensation in an optical trap
… where atoms are firstly collected for their precooling in a 2D-geometry in a high pressure region. From this source region thereafter, the atoms are efficiently transferred into a conventional MOT inside a UHV chamber with capture rates exceeding 10^8 atoms/s. After a loading time of 1s and a …

The Effects of Wearing a Cooling Vest During the Warm-Up on Long Distance Interval Training
… body temperature before exercise is called precooling. Past research suggests that reducing body core temperature (Tc) slightly can result in improved running performance. This study evaluated the effects that warming up, while wearing a cooling vest prior to an interval workout, had on Tc, …

Modeling air transportation of fresh seafood
… were studied in this thesis. These included precooling, gel pack effectiveness, external temperatures encountered by shipping containers, and coolant placement in a shipping container. Experiments were conducted to determine cooling times of 10 and 20 pound boxes and 10 pound bags of whole …

Thermal mass applications in the hot‐humid region of Austin, TX
Thermal mass can be successfully implemented in the hot‐humid region of Austin, TX especially when well designed and with supplementary aids like nightcooling and day‐lighting. This study shows that in some situations thermal mass can be actually more beneficial at reducing electricity demands in …
