Brief Summary

It is of utmost importance to determine the individual upper limits in the recommended exercises for increasing the level of physical activity and for developing the cardiovascular system. Cardiovascular exercise tests are used in determining the exercise capacity and performance. Cardiovascular exercise tests allow maximal and submaximal loadings to determine the person's body temperature, oxygen consumption, fatigue, interpretation of cardiac responses, and exercise capacity. Thermal equilibrium is achieved by the activation or inhibition of autonomic and behavioral thermocouples in order to generate, dissipate or protect heat. These thermocouples act together and allow precise control of body temperature, which is arranged in a narrow range. Under certain conditions, such as body temperature, systemic inflammation, extreme environmental conditions, and exercise performance, it falls outside this narrow range. Metabolic heat production is 15 to 20 times greater than resting during exercise. In exercise performed under hot ambient conditions, the rate of heat production will exceed the rate of heat loss and cause it to rise rapidly before reaching a plateau. The increase due to the exhalation of body heat initiates two autonomous thermodynamics for heat dissipation: sweating and cutaneous vasodilatation. Although both mechanisms help prevent exaggerated increase in body temperature, they cause stress for the cardiovascular system. Exercise performance and level of physical activity are influenced by individual characteristics such as personality adjustment and mediocre adjustment. Adaptation is defined as adaptation under natural conditions. Robinson showed that the individual salt losses are higher in individuals who exercise in a hot environment and cannot adapt to the temperature, a decrease in both urine and sweat salt contents with temperature compliance. One research has shown that exercise performance is influenced by heat-induced muscle cramps and cardiovascular function disorders due to this significant increase in salt loss. An increase in body temperature caused by exercise can have a negative impact on exercise performance and may lead to the development of conditions associated with increased body temperature. Although many studies in literature have shown positive effects of performance of pre-exercise cold exercise on performance, there is no consensus on the use of cold applications.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Exercise capacity

  Oxygen consumption on maximal exercise test (Bruce Protocol) will be assessed with mobile metabolic analyzer system as expended oxygen level per kilogram in one minute (ml/kg/min.) will be measured after cold application.

  Before and after of each cold application. Each application will be applied same day and time of the week. All the application and measurement will take total 4 weeks for each subject.

Secondary Outcomes (10)

• Muscle strength

  Before and after of each cold application. Each application will be applied same day and time of the week. All the application and measurement will take total 4 weeks for each subject.

• Muscle endurance

  Before and after of each cold application. Each application will be applied same day and time of the week. All the application and measurement will take total 4 weeks for each subject.

• Forced expiratory volume

  Before and after of each cold application. Each application will be applied same day and time of the week. All the application and measurement will take total 4 weeks for each subject.

• Forced vital capacity

  Before and after of each cold application. Each application will be applied same day and time of the week. All the application and measurement will take total 4 weeks for each subject.

• Peak expiratory flow

  Before and after of each cold application. Each application will be applied same day and time of the week. All the application and measurement will take total 4 weeks for each subject.
