Verdict 2989 · Evidence Check

Stored-material review date: Not recorded  
Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-07  
Review-criteria version: 1.0  
Public page/material preparation date: 2026-10-16

Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: The context is 10 healthy men participating in the same two single-session conditions. Exact age, training, recruitment, eligibility and baseline health are unverified; these results are not transferred directly to women, people with disease, older adults or other training levels.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Original study exposure was a single oral pre-exercise ingestion of −1°C ice slurry. Composition, ice fraction, preparation/quality, exact ingestion intervals and actual adherence are unverified.
- Dose: Original study exposure of 7.5 g/kg is preserved without converting it to total amounts by individual body weight or instructions for preparation, ingestion, cooling or exercise. Repeated ingestion during exercise is a separate question.
- Comparator: The control is 4°C cold water at 7.5 g/kg in another single-session condition in the same people. This is not converted into no ingestion, other cooling methods or commercial-product comparisons. Composition, procedures, adherence and common exposures by condition are separately unverified.
- Measured outcome: The endpoint is running time to exhaustion in minutes at first ventilatory threshold in 34.0°C and 54.9% relative humidity. Original 50.2±8.5 versus 40.7±7.2 minutes, +19±6%, P=.001 are preserved. Definition of ±, within-person CI and prespecified hierarchy are unverified. Temperature, heat-illness events and real race results are distinguished.
- Duration: This is an acute crossover trial of running to exhaustion after a single pre-exercise ingestion. Original statements of pre-exercise rectal temperature 0.32°C lower and terminal 39.36 versus 39.05°C, P=.001, 0.31°C higher do not represent the same-time comparison throughout exercise, long-term follow-up or repeated-ingestion results.
- Questions outside this scope: Extending increased time to exhaustion to direct effects on real race performance, other sports, long-term fitness, all populations or climates; Converting lower pre-exercise rectal temperature into lower temperature throughout exercise, heat-illness prevention or safety benefit; Using 10 people, two conditions, time/temperature or two subclaim sheets as new independent-trial/participant totals; Converting unmeasured/unverified data, empty values or grade ? into effect 0, event 0, safety or absence of all research; Calculating/certifying new effects, CIs, definitions of ±, total amounts by body weight, hypothetical numbers, grades, independence or prespecified hierarchy; Inheriting parent C54, Caution, axes or historical checks as a subclaim score or current clinical review, or creating preparation, ingestion, cooling, exercise, heat-illness-prevention or treatment instructions

Independent replication: The single Siegel 2010 report of 10 healthy men in two single-session ice-slurry/cold-water conditions is the same randomized counterbalanced within-person crossover trial. Original time to exhaustion 50.2±8.5 versus 40.7±7.2 minutes, +19±6%, P=.001; rectal temperature 39.36 versus 39.05°C, P=.001; pre-exercise 0.32°C lower and terminal 0.31°C higher are distinguished. Definition of ±, within-person CI, exact denominators and prespecified hierarchy are unverified.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Methodological principles stated in existing pilot materials and condition templates were referenced. The methodological text was not reviewed again in this work.
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Methodological principles stated in existing pilot materials and condition templates were referenced. The methodological text was not reviewed again in this work.
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Methodological principles stated in existing pilot materials and condition templates were referenced. The methodological text was not reviewed again in this work.
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Methodological principles stated in existing pilot materials and condition templates were referenced. The methodological text was not reviewed again in this work.
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Methodological principles stated in existing pilot materials and condition templates were referenced. The methodological text was not reviewed again in this work.

## What the statuses mean

- Met: The original content has been reviewed as meeting the conditions. This status is not used in this preparation.
- Partly verified: Some information in the stored summary was linked during preparation; clinical verification or review is not complete.
- Unverified: Required direct values, definitions or materials have not been established within the current storage and reading scope. This does not mean zero effect, no papers or failed access.
- Review incomplete: Awaiting user review, or actual review remains incomplete.
- Not reported: Used only when original materials were actually read and the outcome was judged unreported. Not used for external materials unread in this work.
- Inaccessible: Used only when an actual access attempt has a recorded failure. Not used for access that was not attempted in this work.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Indicates insufficient direct materials for the relevant scope or conditions; it is not a new grade.
- Not applicable: Used when the reason it does not apply to the original question is stated.
- Conflicting data: Retains the scope of conflicting statements in original materials; it is not an arbitrary reassessment.
