Body temperatures and cardiovascular responses at rest and during exercise and recovery periods

		Exercise 1	Recovery 1	Exercise 2	Recovery 2
	BL	30 min	20 min	30 min	20 min	40 min
Oesophageal temperature (°C)	37.1 ± 0.1	37.7 ± 0.2*	37.4 ± 0.1*	38.0 ± 0.2*†	37.6 ± 0.2*†	37.5 ± 0.2*†
Mean skin temperature (°C)	35.0 ± 0.2	35.9 ± 0.2*	35.6 ± 0.2*	36.0 ± 0.3*†	35.6 ± 0.3*	35.3 ± 0.2*†
Mean body temperature (°C)	36.9 ± 0.1	37.5 ± 0.2*	37.2 ± 0.1*	37.8 ± 0.2*†	37.4 ± 0.2*†	37.3 ± 0.2*†
Mean arterial pressure (mmHg)	93 ± 3	102 ± 3*	90 ± 3	99 ± 4*	90 ± 2	89 ± 3
Heart rate (b.p.m.)	75 ± 8	131 ± 12*	83 ± 9*	139 ± 13*†	88 ± 8*†	88 ± 10*†

Presented values are mean ± 95% confidence interval. Oesophageal, mean skin and mean body temperatures, as well as heart rate values represent an average of the final 5 min for the corresponding time period. Mean arterial pressure values represent an average of two measurements from the final 10 min for the corresponding time period. Baseline resting represents the first 5 min of the first 10 min interval. BL, baseline resting; b.p.m., beats per minute. *P < 0.05 vs. BL, ^† P < 0.05 Exercise 1 vs. Exercise 2 or Recovery 1 vs. Recovery 2.
