This study investigated the effects of mixed-method cooling during a short break between exercise bouts on thermoregulation and cycling time-trial (TT) performance in the heat. In a randomized crossover design, nine physically active men performed two 30-min cycling bouts that consisted of 25-min constant-paced cycling at 55% of maximal oxygen uptake followed by a 5-min TT in the heat (35° C, 50% relative humidity). The two bouts were separated by a 15-min break. During the break, participants were assigned to a control trial (CON; 5 g kg− 1 fluid ingestion at room temperature) or a mixed-method cooling trial (COOL; 5 g kg− 1 ice slurry ingestion and cooling vest to cool the neck and torso). Physiological (rectal [T re], forehead deep-tissue [T deep-head], mean skin [T‾ sk], forehead skin [T head], and neck skin [T neck] temperatures, heart rate [HR], and skin blood flow [SkBF]) and perceptual data (ratings of perceived exertion [RPE], thermal comfort [TC], and thermal sensation [TS]) were measured. At the end of the 15-min break, T deep-head (− 0.5±0.2° C, p< 0.001), T‾ sk (− 5.6±3.1° C, p= 0.001), T head (− 0.8±0.4° C, p= 0.001), T neck (− 9.8±6.0° C, p= 0.002), HR (− 17±6 bpm, p< 0.001), SkBF (− 27.7±13.9%, p= 0.002), TC (+ 2.6±2.5, p= 0.024), and TS (− 4.7±2.5, p= 0.011) improved in COOL compared to CON. Reductions in T‾ sk and T neck were quickly lost (5 min) during the second exercise bout but T deep-head, T head, and TS remained lower in COOL until the commencement of the second TT. Compared to CON, T re (− 0.2±0.2° C, p= 0.002) and RPE (− 1.3±0.9, p= 0.010) were lower in COOL during the second exercise bout. The reduction in mean power output at the second TT was attenuated in COOL (− 13.9±26.9 W) compared to CON (− 29.3±29.4 W; p= 0.015). In conclusion, the mixed-method cooling during a short break reduced physiological and perceptual strain and improved cycling TT performance.
