Dataset of "Effect of different volumes of exercise on skin temperature responses over the following 24 hours"
Description
his data corresponds to the study published in Journal of Thermal Biology: "Effect of different volumes of exercise on skin temperature responses over the following 24 hours" The objective of the study was to determine whether skin temperature is influenced by different workloads and the time course of temperature measurements over the following 24 hours. 24 trained male military were assigned to one of three groups: GC group (n=8) serving as control not performing exercises, GE group (n=8) performing a simulated military combat protocol in an exercise track with different obstacles but designed not to elicit muscle damage, and the GEMD group (n=8) performing the simulated military combat protocol plus 5 sets of 20 drop jumps, with 10-sec between repetitions and with 2-min of rest between sets aiming to induce muscle damage. Skin temperature was measured using infrared thermography before exercise (Pre) and 4 (Post4h), 8 (Post8h) and 24h (Post24h) post-exercise. Perception of pain (DOMS) was evaluated Pre, Post24h, and Post48h, and countermovement jump height was evaluated at Pre and Post24h.
