Abstract
The heart rate responses of young (26.2 +/- 2.4 yr) and older (42.8 +/- 1.4 yr) subjects to intermittent exercise with and without facial cooling were determined. Cold wind (10 degree C, 6.5 m/sec) was blown in the faces of the subjects during seven progressively intense 5-min work stages. Except for stages 6 and 7, 5-min rest periods were interposed between each work stage. Cooling resulted in a significant reduction in forehead, nose, and chest temperature in both groups. The differences between the young and old subjects were not significant. Although lower with cooling for both groups, heart rate in exercise was not significantly reduced. The differences between the young and old subjects were not significant. It is concluded that during the type of exercise employed, facial cooling has little effect on the heart rate response and that age, in the range considered, does not influence the effect of facial cooling in exercise.
