Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of facial cooling on physiological and perceptual responses during a simulated fencing competition.

Methods: Using a randomized, crossover design, six competitive male fencers completed two trials of seven simulated fencing matches. Each match consisted of 22×10 s bouts of high-intensity fencing movements. Static rest (12 s) separated each bout, with 60-second rest after bouts seven and 14, during which, in the experimental condition, participants were sprayed with a facial water mist and fanned.

Results: Relative to control, facial cooling reduced tympanic temperature (mean difference [MD]: 0.2±0.03 °C; 95% likely range [CL95]: 0.13-0.3 °C), heart rate (MD: 12±3 b·min-1; CL95: 5-20 b·min-1), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) for the dominant arm (MD: 2±0; CL95: 1-3), legs (MD: 2±0; CL95: 1-3), and total exertion (MD: 2±0; CL95: 1-3). Moreover, the benefits of facial cooling on RPE of the dominant arm and legs were magnified as the competition progressed. Facial cooling also improved ratings of perceived thermal comfort and perceived thermal strain.

Conclusions: While the performance benefits of the intervention require exploration, facial misting positively affects both physiological and perceptual responses during fencing.

面部降温对模拟击剑比赛中生理和知觉反应的影响:一项试点研究。
背景:本研究旨在调查面部降温对模拟击剑比赛中生理和知觉反应的影响:本研究旨在调查面部降温对模拟击剑比赛中生理和知觉反应的影响:方法:六名男性击剑运动员采用随机交叉设计,完成了七场模拟击剑比赛中的两次试验。每场比赛由 22×10 秒的高强度击剑动作组成。每场比赛之间有静态休息(12 秒),第七场和第十四场比赛后有 60 秒的休息时间,在此期间,在实验条件下,参与者面部喷洒水雾并扇风:结果:与对照组相比,面部降温降低了鼓膜温度(平均差[MD]:0.2±0.03 °C;95%可能范围[CL95]:0.13-0.3 °C)、心率(MD:12±3 b-min-1;CL95:5-20 b-min-1)以及优势臂(MD:2±0;CL95:1-3)、腿(MD:2±0;CL95:1-3)和总用力(MD:2±0;CL95:1-3)的感觉用力评分(RPE)。此外,随着比赛的进行,面部降温对优势手臂和腿部 RPE 的益处也在不断放大。面部降温还提高了感知热舒适度和感知热负荷的评分:虽然干预措施对成绩的益处还需要进一步探讨,但面部喷雾对击剑时的生理和感知反应都有积极影响。
