Abstract
Internal and external factors contribute to resting core temperature and affect thermoregulation. Also, a robust circadian rhythm exists, implying that the body is in “heat-gain” or “heat-loss” modes at different times during the 24 h. Moreover, many variables associated with exercise, and the body's capacity for exercise, show circadian variation. All these factors contribute to circadian changes in thermoregulation during exercise. Attention is focused on responses at the onset of exercise, “critical temperature”, and recovery after exercise. Practical implications of circadian changes in thermoregulation during exercise include ergogenic aids and inter-individual differences, including those due to gender, age and acclimatisation.
