“…Considering previous reports about the importance of a daily IRT asymmetry assessment in injury prevention [ 17 , 19 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], long-term follow-up studies of athletes using IRT evaluation are encouraged. Finally, based on a recent study [ 44 ], further investigations assessing the skin temperature recovery after a cold stress test could add valuable information to the vascularization status of the region analyzed by infrared thermography.…”

Although strength imbalances using isokinetic dynamometer have been examined for injury risk screening in soccer players, it is very expensive and time-consuming, making the evaluation of new methods appealing. The aim of the study was to analyze the agreement between muscular strength imbalances and skin temperature bilateral asymmetries as well as skin temperature differences in the hamstrings and quadriceps. The skin temperature of the anterior and posterior thigh of 59 healthy male soccer athletes was assessed at baseline using infrared thermography for the identification of hamstrings-quadriceps skin temperature differences and thermal asymmetries (>0.5 °C). Subsequently, concentric and eccentric peak torque of the quadriceps and hamstrings were considered in the determination of the ratios, as well as muscular asymmetries (>15%). When considering the torque parameters, 37.3% (n = 22) of the players would be classified as high risk for injuries. The percentage of those presenting skin temperature imbalances superior to 0.5 °C was 52.5% (n = 31). The skin temperature assessment showed sensitivity (22%) and specificity (32.2%) to identify torque asymmetries, demonstrating the inability to identify false negatives (15.3%) and false positives (30.5%) from all soccer athletes. In conclusion, skin temperature differences between hamstrings and quadriceps could be more related to thermoregulatory factors than strength imbalances.

“…Although sCK and sLDH are considered good indicators of muscle damage [ 11 ], other indirect tools have been used to decrease the invasive procedure during blood collection, such as using visual analog scales to measure DOMS [ 12 ]. Although the monitorization of baseline skin temperature (Tsk) using infrared thermography (IRT) was another methodology proposed, the results of the different investigations are contradictory [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”

“…The Tsk assessment to obtain information about muscle damage is based on its relationship with inflammation and skin blood flow alterations [ 16 , 18 , 19 ]. It was suggested that inflammation resulting from muscle damage could increase muscle temperature and alter Tsk [ 17 , 19 ].…”

“…It was suggested that inflammation resulting from muscle damage could increase muscle temperature and alter Tsk [ 17 , 19 ]. However, a recent study indicated that muscle damage increases peripheral vasoconstriction, covering up inflammatory effects [ 16 ]. In addition, while some studies observed increments of baseline Tsk in the posterior days after exercise [ 14 , 17 ], others did not find differences [ 13 , 15 , 16 ], which makes further investigation more necessary.…”

Finally, most of these studies performed the exercise in moderate environmental conditions, such as a marathon at 16 °C [ 16 ], a half-marathon at 15 °C [ 15 ], calf-rising repetitions at 23 °C [ 13 ], or triathlon training camp at 12 °C [ 14 ], and only one study in which the exercise was soccer matches at higher temperatures (28 °C) [ 17 ].…”

This study aimed to assess the effect of a marathon running at a hot environmental temperature on the baseline skin temperature (Tsk) of the posterior day and to analyze the relationship between Tsk response and muscle damage markers variation. The Tsk, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase of 16 marathon runners were assessed four times before (15 days and 45 min) and after (24 h and 6 days) a marathon in a hot environment (thermal stress index = 28.3 ± 3.3 °C and humidity ~81%). The Tsk of thirteen different body regions of both right and left lower limbs were analyzed. Higher values after the marathon were observed than 45 min before in creatine kinase (174.3 ± 136.4 UI/L < 1159.7 ± 699.7 UI/L, p < 0.01 and large effect size) and lactate dehydrogenase (362.6 ± 99.9 UI/L < 438 ± 115.5 UI/L, p = 0.02 and moderate effect size). Generally, Tsk was higher the day after the marathon than at the other three moments (e.g., rectus femoris region, 6 days before vs. the day after, 95% confidence interval of the difference (0.3, 1.6 °C), p = 0.04 and large effect size). No relationship or correlation was observed between the variation of Tsk and muscle damage markers (p > 0.05). In conclusion, performing a marathon in a hot environmental condition results in a higher Tsk the day after the marathon. This increase in Tsk could be because of the heat generated by the marathon and its subsequent physiological processes (e.g., increase in endothelial nitric oxide, glycogen resynthesis, or increase of systemic hormones), which would be reflected in the Tsk due to the peripheral vasodilation promoted by the hot environment. However, among these processes, muscle damage does not seem to be of great importance due to the lack of an observed relationship between Tsk and muscle damage markers.
