Skin temperature thresholds: A novel non-invasive potential tool for estimating ventilatory thresholds
Background
Developing non-invasive, practical methods to identify exercise metabolic thresholds remains a key focus in exercise physiology. This study examined the variation patterns of average skin temperature (aTsk) measured by infrared thermography during a ramp incremental exercise test (RIET) and determined skin temperature thresholds (TSKTs) to assess their agreement with ventilatory thresholds (VTs).
Methods
Twenty-three active college students performed a RIET. Physiological parameters including aTsk, oxygen uptake (), heart rate (HR), and power output (PO), were recorded. Paired-sample t-tests, Pearson correlation (r), Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman were used to assess the agreement between TSKTs and VTs. The TSKTs comprised the first (TSKT1) and second (TSKT2) skin temperature thresholds.
Results
1) aTsk remained stable initially, then declined (TSKT1), and finally slowed or rebounded (TSKT2). 2) No significant differences were observed between VTs and TSKTs in , HR, or PO (P > 0.05). 3) At the levels of absolute (), relative (), HR and PO, TSKT1 exhibited moderate agreement with VT1, with ICC (0.587, 0.432, 0.430 and 0.525) and r > 0.40 (P < 0.05). TSKT2 showed moderate to high agreement with VT2 for (ICC: 0.774, r: 0.778) (P < 0.01), re (ICC: 0.433, r: 0.449) (P < 0.05), and PO (ICC: 0.770, r: 0.784) (P < 0.01), while no significant agreement and correlation was found for HR (P > 0.05).
Conclusion
TSKTs identified during RIET exhibited moderate to high reliability in estimating VTs and may serve as a potential tool for VTs assessment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:
• The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature
• The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature
• Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause
• Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span
• Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment
• The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man
• Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature
• Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever
• Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
