Temperature at sporting activity

Hi!

How can i take my temp during a sporting activity souch as running?

Preffered i want take my rectal temp.

Sounds tricky and pretty risky too....chances of tearing the soft anal tissue. In my opinion it should not be tried...never ever with a glass thermometer....maybe one of those digital ones...but again i wouldnt try it...please seek expert advice on this forum

A small rectal probe with wire connection to the readout would be best -- maybe one you could wear on your belt or in a pocket with a small hole in the fabric for the lead wire. Would be a special use kind of purchase but I bet it could be found at a scientific supply kind of place like Edmunds or Oregon Scientific.

I've been instrumented with kit for exactly this in a (real) research study.

Rectal temperature probe, which is a wire which has a thermistor at the end, and PVC sealed tubing surrounding the last 10cm. The standard appears to be to insert that 10cm in.

You can get cheap LCD thermistors on ebay / dealextreme, just a case of making them a single, safe sealed unit.
