    Abstract Purpose: It is often assumed that a person with a higher mean skin temperature (Tsk) will sweat more during exercise. However, it has not yet been demonstrated whether Tsk describes any individual variability in whole-body sweat rate (WBSR) independently of the evaporative requirement for heat balance (Ereq).
    Methods: One hundred forty bouts of 2-h treadmill walking completed by a pool of 21 participants (23 ± 4 yr, 174 ± 8 cm, 76 ± 11 kg, 1.9 ± 0.2 m) under up to nine conditions were analyzed. Trials employed varying rates of metabolic heat production (Hprod; 197-813 W), and environmental conditions (15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C; all 50% relative humidity), yielding a wide range of Ereq (86-684 W) and Tsk values (26.9°C-34.4°C).
    Results: The individual variation observed in WBSR was best described using Ereq (in watts; R = 0.784) as a sole descriptor, relative to Ereq (in watts per meter squared; R = 0.735), Hprod (in watts; R = 0.639), Hprod (in watts per meter squared; R = 0.584), ambient air temperature (Ta) (R = 0.263), and Tsk (R = 0.077; all, P < 0.001). A multiple stepwise linear regression included only Ereq (in watts; adjusted R = 0.784), with Tsk not significantly correlating with the residual variance (P = 0.285), independently of Ereq (in watts). Hprod (in watts) had similar predictive strength to Ereq (in watts) at a fixed air temperature, explaining only 5.2% at 30°C, 4.9% at 25°C, 2.7% at 20°C, and 0.5% at 15°C (all, P < 0.001) less variance in WBSR compared with Ereq. However, when data from all ambient temperatures were pooled, Hprod alone was a markedly worse predictor of WBSR than Ereq (R = 0.639 vs 0.784; P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Ereq (in watts) explained approximately four-fifths of the individual variation in WBSR over a range of ambient temperatures and exercise intensities, whereas Tsk did not explain any residual variance independently of Ereq.

    Abstract Objectives: To examine, 1) optimal structure of break periods to mitigate physiological heat strain during rugby league play (Stage 1); and ii) effectiveness of three different cooling strategies applied during breaks (Stage 2).
    Design: Counter-balanced crossover design.
    Methods: In 37 °C, 50% RH, 11 males completed six simulated 80-min (two 40-min halves) rugby league matches on a treadmill with different break structures: regular game (RG) (12-min halftime), 1-min or 3-min "quarter-time" breaks halfway through each half with a 12-min halftime break (R1C and R3C), a 20-min halftime break (EH), or 1-min or 3-min quarter-time breaks with a 20-min halftime break (E1C and E3C) [Stage 1]. Nine participants completed Stage 2, which assessed the application of either ice towels (ICE), an electric fan (FAN) or a misting fan (MST) during breaks in the E3C protocol which, in Stage 1, prevailed as the optimal break structure.
    Results: Stage 1: Irrespective of quarter-time break duration, reductions in rectal temperature (-0.24 °C ± 0.24) and heart rate (-61 ± 10 bpm) during the halftime break were greater with a 20-min compared to a 12-min break (-0.08 ± 0.13 °C, p = 0.005; -55 ± -9 bpm, p = 0.021). Stage 2: End-game rises in rectal temperature were smaller (p < 0.006) in MST (1.41 ± 0.22 °C), FAN (1.55 ± 0.36 °C) and ICE (1.60 ± 0.21 °C) than in CON (1.80 ± 0.39 °C). The end-halftime heart rate was lower (p < 0.001) in ICE (89 ± 13 bpm), MST (90 ± 10 bpm) and FAN (92 ± 13 bpm) than in CON (99 ± 18 bpm).
    Conclusions: Combining an extended halftime period and quarter-time breaks with MST application is the optimal cooling strategy for rugby league players in hot, humid conditions.

    Abstract Current public health guidance designed to protect individuals against extreme heat and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is seemingly discordant, yet during the northern hemisphere summer, we are faced with the imminent threat of their simultaneous existence. Here we examine the environmental limits of electric fan-use in the context of the United States summer as a potential stay-at-home cooling strategy that aligns with existing efforts to mitigate the spread of SARS-COV-2.
