We investigated the validity of infrared tympanic temperature (IR-T-ty) during exercise in the heat with variations in solar radiation. Eight healthy males completed stationary cycling trials at 70% peak oxygen uptake until exhaustion in an environmental chamber maintained at 30 degrees C with 50% relative humidity. Three solar radiation conditions, 0, 250 and 500 W/m(2), were tested using a ceiling-mounted solar simulator (metal-halide lamps) over a 3 x 2 m irradiated area. IR-T-ty and rectal temperature (T-re) were similar before and during exercise in each trial (P > 0.05). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r(s)) demonstrated very strong (250 W/m(2), r(s) = 0.87) and strong (0 W/m(2), r(s) = 0.73; 500 W/m(2), r(s) = 0.78) correlations between IR-T-ty and T-re in all trials (P < 0.001). A Bland-Altman plot showed that mean differences (SD; 95% limits of agreement; root mean square error) between IR-T-ty and T-re were - 0.11 degrees C (0.46; - 1.00 to 0.78 degrees C; 0.43 +/- 0.16 degrees C) in 0 W/m(2), - 0.13 degrees C (0.32; - 0.77 to 0.50 degrees C; 0.32 +/- 0.10 degrees C) in 250 W/m(2) and - 0.03 degrees C (0.60; - 1.21 to 1.14 degrees C; 0.46 +/- 0.27 degrees C) in 500 W/m(2). A positive correlation was found in 500 W/m(2) (r(s) = 0.51; P < 0.001) but not in 250 W/m(2) (r(s) = 0.04; P = 0.762) and 0 W/m(2) (r(s) = 0.04; P = 0.732), indicating a greater elevation in IR-T-ty than T-re in 500 W/m(2). Percentage of target attainment within +/- 0.3 degrees C between IR-T-ty and T-re was higher in 250 W/m(2) (100 +/- 0%) than 0 (93 +/- 7%) and 500 (90 +/- 10%; P < 0.05) W/m(2). IR-T-ty is acceptable for core temperature monitoring during exercise in the heat when solar radiation is
