Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Best sprint time. Timepoint: Calculated post-protocol after data collection. Method of measurement: Calculated using a standard formula based on the sprint times recorded across the 10 repetitions.;Performance Decrement Index. Timepoint: Upon the completion of the protocol and the collection of all temporal data. Method of measurement: Statistical analysis was performed using the standardized performance decrement formula, derived from the recorded times across 10 sprint repetitions.;Skin Temperature. Timepoint: Pre, during, and post-activity phases. Method of measurement: Measured using skin thermistors placed on specific body sites.;Heart Rate. Timepoint: With smartwatch-integrated sensors. Method of measurement: Longitudinal monitoring across the pre-, intra-, and post-activity phases.;Sweat Rate & Body Mass Loss. Timepoint: Body weight measured immediately before the protocol and immediately after completion. Method of measurement: Calculated by comparing pre- and post-activity body weight (without fluid intake during the test).;Rating of Perceived Exertion. Timepoint: After the exercise protocol. Method of measurement: Measured using the Borg Scale (range 6–20).;Thermal Sensation & Thermal Comfort. Timepoint: Before, during, and after the exercise protocol. Method of measurement: Measured via standardized thermal sensation and comfort questionnaires. | — |
