Football Player Cooling Interventions Under Heat Stress

Marcelo Teixeira de Andrade's dataset accompanies a randomized crossover trial on cooling interventions for amateur football players under hot conditions. Data from ten players includes Yo-Yo IR1 test, repeated sprints, countermovement jump, heart rate, skin temperature, and perceptual responses across three halftime conditions. The raw values are intended to support reproducibility and meta-analyses in sports science.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of fan versus wet towel cooling based on physiological and performance variables.
• Analyze the relationship between skin temperature and intermittent running performance under heat stress.
• Model the impact of halftime cooling interventions on subsequent sprint and jump performance.
• Assess perceptual responses like thermal sensation relative to objective physiological measurements.

Strengths

• Data includes raw values for ten participants across three experimental conditions.
• Multiple performance and physiological variables are measured, including heart rate, skin temperature, and sweating rate.
• The dataset is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (26.0 KB), indicating a limited scope of ten participants.
