Table 3 A comparison of the time course and rate of core temperature change at the onset or cessation of exercise when measured at oesophageal, intestinal and rectal sites.

	Oesophageal	Intestinal	Rectal
Time for 0.1°C change from start of exercise (min)
Kolka et al,13 40% VO2peak	4.4 (2.7)*	7.5 (4.8)†	12.3 (3)
Kolka et al,13 80% VO2peak	1.8 (0.8)*	3.8 (1.5)†	>5.0 (0)
Lee et al,17 40% VO2peak	10 (1.1)	14 (1.2)	15.7 (1.6)‡
Rate of change during exercise (°C/min)
Kolka et al,14 40% VO2peak	0.050 (0.013)*	0.031 (0.014)	0.018 (0.005)
Kolka et al,14 80% VO2peak	0.112 (0.028)*	0.066 (0.035)†	0.018 (0.009)
Lee et al,17 40% VO2peak	0.022 (0.005)	0.021 (0.004)	0.016 (0.004)
Time to steady‐state temperature during exercise (min)
Kolka et al,13 40% VO2peak	18.0 (6.1)	25.2 (9.1)†	37.3 (4.6)‡
Time for 0.1°C change from end of exercise (min)
Kolka et al,13 from 40% VO2peak	2.3 (0.5)*	6.5 (3.1)†	12.2 (3.3)
Lee et al,17 from 65% VO2peak	3.7 (0.4)	7.1 (1.5)	10.6 (1.9)‡
Rate of change during recovery (°C/min)
Lee et al,17 from 65% VO2peak	−0.030 (0.002)*	−0.023 (0.003)†	−0.010 (0.003)

Values are mean (SD).

*T_oesophageal significantly different from T_intestinal and T_rectal, p<0.05.

†T_intestinal significantly different from T_rectal p<0.05.

‡T_rectal significantly different from T_oesophageal, p<0.05.
