Title
Thermophysiological and cardiovascular effects of menthol during physical exercise
Review Question
What are the thermophysiological and cardiovascular impacts of menthol application during physical exercise?
Study Type Included
We will include randomized control trials in which sport performance parameters have been reported in adult subjects with and without application of menthol.
Condition Being Studied
Thermophysiological and cardiovascular effects of menthol application in healthy participants in physical exercise.
Participant
Healthy, physically active adult men and women.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Training with application of menthol.
Comparator Control
Training without application of menthol.
Main Outcome
Menthol is a known modulator of the cold-activated thermosensory pathway in experimental animals. Human studies also suggest that menthol can reduce cutaneous blood flow and sweating and increase deep body temperature. These thermoregulatory actions of menthol can increase the risk of heat–related illnesses, especially during exposure to internal (physical activity) and/or external (high ambient temperature) heat load. We want to know whether the application of menthol is safe in athletes despite these physiological effects. Since fatal hard endpoints such as heat stroke are rarely used in interventional clinical trials, instead of choosing heat stroke as a specific outcome, we want to study how the thermophysiological and cardiovascular parameters, specifically heart rate, skin temperature, deep body temperature, and sweat production, which can mean risks for heat-related illnesses are affected by menthol in physical exercise (i.e. a form of internal heat stress) in different environmental conditions, also including warmth exposure. Measures of effect None.
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
None. Measures of effect Not applicable.
Study Method
Intervention, Meta-analysis, Systematic review
