Quick Summary

    In this randomized crossover study, taurine supplementation improved the participant’s ability to sweat and regulate body temperature during low-intensity exercise in hot conditions compared to a placebo.

    What was studied?

    The effect of taurine supplementation on sweating and body temperature regulation.

    The following outcomes were measured:

    • 3 sweat parameters (whole-body sweat loss, local sweat rate, sweat gland activation)
    • 2 body temperature parameters (core temperature, skin temperature)
    • Heart rate
    • Breakpoint of compensability (i.e., at what point during the test body temperature started rising)
    • Body fluid (plasma) volume
    • Evaporative heat transfer
    • Heat storage (the degree to which body heat exceeds body heat loss)
    • VO2max
