Performance benefits of pre- and per-cooling on self-paced versus constant workload exercise: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points: 1. Pre-cooling is more effective in constant workload exercise compared with self-paced exercise in the heat. 2. Per-cooling provides comparable benefits for constant and self-paced exercise in the heat. 3. Substantial differences in the magnitude of performance benefits across different types of cooling interventions were observed, which emphasizes the need for more research to determine the most effective type of cooling under specific exercise conditions (e.g., type, duration).
