Brief Summary:
Local head and neck cooling strategies can help reduce multiple sclerosis-related fatigue, while heating can exacerbate heat-related fatigue. However, no study has detailed the peripheral and central responses to head and neck cooling (at 18°C) and heating (at 43 ± 1°C next to the scalp and neck skin) during fatiguing isometric exercise in non-challenging ambient temperature in multiple sclerosis and healthy male subjects. In addition, there is a lack of data describing the effects of head and neck cooling/heating and strenuous exercise on blood markers, muscle temperature, motor accuracy, and rate of perceived exertion. The investigators hypothesized that: (i) men with multiple sclerosis would be more affected by central and peripheral fatigue compared to healthy subjects; (ii) local cooling will result in greater central fatigue but will be associated with greater peripheral fatigue, whereas heating will result in greater central and peripheral fatigue in multiple sclerosis men; (iv) local cooling and heating will have a greater effect on the release of stress hormones, rate of perceived exertion and motor accuracy compared to the control condition in both multiple sclerosis and healthy groups.
