Hypothalamic, rectal, and muscle temperatures in exercising dogs: effect of cooling

B. Kruk, H. Kaciuba-Uscilko, K. Nazar, J. E. Greenleaf and S. Kozlowski

To investigate mechanisms that may be involved in the prolongation of exercise performance with body cooling hypothalamic (Thy), rectal (Tre), and exercising muscle (Tm) temperatures, as well as the heart rate, respiratory rate, blood lactic acid concentration ( [LA] ), and plasma osmolality (Osm) were measured in five dogs during exhaustive treadmill exercise at an ambient temperature (Ta) of 22 +/- 1 degree C without cooling (control) and with external cooling by use of ice packs. In both series of experiments, dehydration of animals was prevented. Compared with exercise with noncooling, exercise with cooling resulted in 1) increased exercise duration from 90 +/- 14 to 145 +/- 15 min (62%, P less than 0.05); 2) attenuated increases in Thy, Tre, and Tm; 3) decreased respiratory and heart rates; and 4) lowered LA. Significant negative correlations were found between both Tm and delta Tm attained at 60 min of the run and time of exercise until exhaustion (r = -0.72 and -0.74, respectively; P less than 0.02). This work failed to differentiate clearly changes or equilibrium levels of brain, core, or muscle temperature as separate factors affecting work tolerance. However, the inverse relationship between Tm reached at 60 min of the run (in both experiments) and the total duration of exercise indicates that sustained muscle hyperthermia may largely contribute to limitation of working ability.
