Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of head cooling during endurance cycling on performance and the serotonergic neuroendocrine response to exercise in the heat. Subjects exercised at 75% VO(2max) to volitional fatigue on a cycle ergometer at an ambient temperature of 29+/-1.0 C, with a relative humidity of approximately 50%. Head cooling resulted in a 51% (p
