Despite a 1.8°C larger core-to-skin thermal gradient during running, decrements in V˙O2peak were not different between exercise modes (95% CI for difference in change scores between 15 and 45 min: -0.2, 0.3).


 CV strain (indexed as CV drift) during prolonged exercise in the heat corresponds to reduced V˙O2max, irrespective of exercise mode or the thermal gradient.
