“…In contrast, the surface body temperature ranges from 36.2 to 37.8°C and depends on a segment of the body. Any form of physical activity increases tissue metabolism, which accelerates oxygen transport due to increased blood flow leading to elevation of body temperature caused by heat production by working muscles [24,25]. In case of professional sport, the increase in capability of heat removal from the body is important (limitation of increase in inner temperature and dynamics acceleration of sweat secretion) which as a consequence allows for continuation of exercise [25].…”

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of cryotherapy on changes of surface body temperate and efficiency of thermoregulatory processes in relation to the intensity of cryogenic stimuli. The study included 30 football players and 30 students. Intervention: both groups were divided into three subgroups treated with cryostimulation at -100, -120 and -140°C. Body surface temperature was measured at baseline (before cryostimulation), 5 and 30 min after the treatment. Regions of trunk, lower limbs and upper limbs were examined. The difference of baseline raw curves and raw curves performed directly and 30 min after cryotherapy at the three levels of temperature in both studied groups. Baseline surface body temperature was lower in athletes than in student. Decrease in surface temperature observed after cryotherapy was significant and greater in football players than in students. The drop in surface temperature in athletes by 4.87°in the regions of upper limbs, trunk by 5.9°C and lower limbs by 7.81°C was reported. After 30-min restitution, the surface temperature restored to baseline in all subjects in all examined regions with greater dynamics in athletes. The study results indicate better effectiveness of thermoregulatory processes in football players. In this group, the greatest changes in temperature occurred after cryostimulation at temperature -120°C.Further research is required to assess recommended values of thermal stimuli.

“…[910111213141516171819] Holey et al reported, recently, that skin temperature showed significant increases immediately after connective tissue massage. [9] It is interesting that manual treatment can also induce significant temperature elevations in nonmassaged areas.…”

“…[17] In 1994, Walko and Janouschek used thermographic analysis in clinical osteopathic research. [18] Today, infrared thermography is increasingly applicable in sport and sport rehabilitation[19] It is a method that can be easily applied, and is fast and efficient in detecting different kinds of injuries[19] Therefore one can expect its increased use in the future.…”

Manual khalifa therapy in patients with completely ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in the knee: First preliminary results from thermal imaging

Background:This preliminary publication describes acute temperature effects after manual Khalifa therapy.Aims:The goal of this study was to describe temperature distribution and the effects on surface temperature of the knees and feet in patients with completely ruptured anterior cruciate ligament before and immediately after the manual therapy.Materials and Methods:Ten male patients were investigated with thermal imaging. An infrared camera operating at a wavelength range of 7.5-13 μm was used. Temperature was analyzed at three locations on both knees and in addition on both feet.Results:The study revealed that baseline temperature of the injured knee differed from that of the untreated control knee. After the therapy on the injured knee, the surface temperature was significantly increased on both knees (injured and control). There were no significant changes in the temperature of the feet.Conclusions:Further studies using continuous thermal image recording may help to explain the details concerning the temperature distribution.

“…An analysis of these changes by means of thermography can provide information about how quickly the body returns to thermal homeostasis after physical exertion by mapping body heat production in the wake of physical exertion. Thermography can also be used in the prevention of injuries and controlling the progression of motor features [11,12].…”

The research assessed thermoregulation processes in early school-age children. Thermal maps of the subjects' bodies were compared before and after general physical exercise and after post-exercise restitution to establish differences between the sexes. The research involved 40 students aged 7, including 20 boys. The subjects participated in interval training which maintained the pulse at 60-80% HRmax. Measurements of body surface temperatures were taken in 12 fields with ThermoVision FLIR SYSTEM T335 camera before exercise, immediately after exercise and after 15 min of restitution. Statistical analysis was based on the Shapiro-Wilk test to verify the normality of variables, multivariate analysis of variance, Student's t test for independent samples and Duncan's post hoc test. The level of statistical significance was established at p \ 0.05. Analysis of the results showed a difference in the distribution of surface body temperatures in boys and girls depending on the studied area. The highest values were recorded in the trunk area, and the lowest in the lowerlimb area. Statistical analysis demonstrated that in both groups there was a statistically significant decrease in post-exercise temperatures. The results revealed greater efficiency of thermoregulation processes during restitution in girls, because the values obtained in all measurement fields in Test 3 were higher than the pre-exercise values. In Tests 2 and 3, differences between the sexes were reported mainly in the upper-limb area.
