Changes in Core Temperature During an Elite Female Rugby Sevens Tournament.

CONCLUSIONS: Elite WRWSS athletes experienced high Tc during WU (Tc peak 37.9-39.0°C) and matches (Tc peak 37.9-39.8°C), a magnitude known to reduce intermittent high-intensity physical performance (≥39°C). The CWI protocol resulted in players (≥6-min match play) with ∼1°C to 2°C raised Tc compared with Tc at WU onset. PMID: 32023538 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
