Efficacy of Various Cooling Techniques During Exercise in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Crossover Intervention Study.Background: Decentralization of the sympathetic nervous system in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) results in impaired vasomotor and sudomotor activity and, subsequently, impaired thermoregulatory capacity during exercise in the heat.  Hyperthermia can be life-threatening and, as such, cooling interventions are needed to prevent this sequela.  Objectives: To measure change in core temperature (ΔTC) over time during exercise in normothermic and high ambient heat conditions to compare thermoregulatory capacity in persons with varying degrees of intact vasomotor and sudomotor activity and to determine the efficacy of three cooling interventions in mitigating TC rise.
