A–F: hemodynamic and temperature responses to exercise in the heated and cooled leg with systemic heat stress (Study 1). Leg and systemic hemodynamic and temperature responses during incremental single-legged knee extensor exercise at 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% peak power output are shown. Participants were previously exposed to 1 h of full-body heat stress with simultaneous isolated single leg cooling before carrying out an incremental exercise test in both the heated and cooled limb. Values are means ± SE for 7 participants except for cardiac output (n = 6) and core temperature (Tc; n = 5). †Mean effect for temperature (heated vs. cooled leg); #significantly different from cooled leg. P < 0.05.
