Core Temperature Manipulation

Meaning

Core Temperature Manipulation is the intentional use of thermal exposure, such as deliberate heating or cooling, to influence the body’s internal core temperature for specific physiological or therapeutic outcomes. This practice is employed to modulate autonomic nervous system activity, alter hormonal secretion, and influence the timing and quality of the sleep-wake cycle. Clinically, it is often utilized to enhance recovery or optimize sleep onset latency.
