Popis: This study investigated whether muscle cooling and its associated effects on skeletal muscle oxidative responses, blood gases, and hormonal concentrations influenced energy metabolism during cycling. Twelve healthy participants (Males: seven; Females: five) performed two steady-state exercise sessions at 70% of ventilatory threshold on a cycle ergometer. Participants completed one session with pre-exercise leg cooling until muscle temperature (Tm) decreased by 6 °C (LCO), and a separate session without cooling (CON). They exercised until Tm returned to baseline and for an additional 30 min. Cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, hemodynamic variables, and skeletal muscle tissue oxidative responses were assessed continuously. Venous blood samples were collected to assess blood gases, and hormones. Heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output all increased across time but were not different between conditions. VO2 was greater in LCO when muscle temperature was restored until the end of exercise (p
