In a recent study from our laboratory, (1) we assessed the validity of numerous temperature devices to estimate rectal temperature while participants exercised in an outdoor environment. Results indicated that most instruments were invalid. However, the validity of many body temperature devices during indoor exercise is unknown. Core body temperature is often measured during controlled research experiments when hyperthermia is an outcome variable or a safety criterion. Body temperature also may be measured when athletes participate in indoor sports (eg, basketball, team handball, squash, wrestling, racquetball). Similarly, many athletes use indoor practice facilities ...
