This study investigated the biophysical, thermo\u2010physiological, and perceptual determinants of cool\u2010seeking behaviour during exercise in younger and older women. Eleven younger (25\u00a0\u00b1\u00a05\u00a0years; 1.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1\u00a0m; 63.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a05.2\u00a0kg) and 11 older women (53\u00a0\u00b1\u00a06\u00a0years; 1.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.1\u00a0m; 65.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a013.9\u00a0kg) performed a 40\u2010min incremental cycling test in a thermoneutral environment (22\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.7\u00b0C; 36\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04% relative humidity). Throughout the test, participants freely adjusted the temperature of a cooling probe applied to their wrists to offset their thermal discomfort. We continuously recorded the probe\u2013wrist interface temperature to quantify participants\u2019 cool\u2010seeking behaviour. We also measured changes in participants\u2019 rate of metabolic heat production, core and mean skin temperatures, and skin wetness. Finally, we body\u2010mapped participants\u2019 skin heat, cold and wetness sensitivity. Our results indicated that: (1) older and younger women exhibited similar onset and magnitude of cool\u2010seeking behaviour, despite older women presented reduced autonomic heat\u2010dissipation responses (i.e., whole\u2010body sweat losses); (2) older women's thermal behaviour was less determined by changes in core temperature (this being a key driver in younger women), and more by changes in multiple thermo\u2010physiological and biophysical parameters (i.e., physical skin wetness, temperature and heat production); (3) older women did not present lower regional skin thermal and wetness sensitivity than younger women. We conclude that predictions of female cool\u2010seeking behaviours based on thermo\u2010physiological variables should consider the effects of ageing. These findings are relevant for the design of wearable cooling systems and sports garments that meet the thermal needs of women across the lifespan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1113\/ep091533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T08:37:48Z","timestamp":1700210268000},"page":"255-270","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Biophysical,
