Body temperature plays a significant role in exercise performance, as it directly affects metabolic processes and muscle function. Optimal performance typically occurs within a thermoneutral range, where neither overheating nor excessive cooling hampers efficiency. As exercise intensity increases, body temperature rises, enhancing muscle elasticity and enzymatic reactions, which can improve performance. However, excessive heat can lead to dehydration, heat-related illnesses, and reduced endurance. Athletes need to monitor their body temperature and ensure proper hydration and cooling strategies to maintain peak performance during physical activity.
