AB  - AbstractWe investigated the effects of taurine supplementation on cycling time to 
      exhaustion in cold conditions. Eleven males cycled to exhaustion at a power 
      output equivalent to the mid-point between ventilatory threshold and maximum 
      aerobic power following 15-min rest in the cold (apparent temperature of  approximately  4 degrees C; 
      air flow of 4.17 m s(-1)). Two hours before, participants ingested taurine 
      (50 mg.kg(-1)) or placebo beverage. Pulmonary gases, carbohydrate (CHO) and fat 
      oxidation, body temperatures, mean local sweat rate, heart rate, rate of 
      perceived exertion (RPE) and thermal comfort were recorded. Time to exhaustion 
      was not different between trials (taurine = 14.6 +/- 4.7 min; 
      placebo = 13.4 +/- 5.6 min, P = 0.061, d = 0.27). There were no effects (P > 0.05) 
      of taurine on core temperature, mean skin temperature or local sweat rates. 
      However, the placebo condition showed greater (P < 0.05) reductions in 
      arm-to-finger temperature gradient (i.e. vasodilation) across pre-exercise 
      passive cold exposure and increased CHO oxidation (P < 0.05). Participants also 
      reached a thermally 'comfortable' level quicker in the taurine condition 
      (P < 0.05). A 50 mg.kg(-1) dose of taurine did not statistically benefit 
      endurance exercise after moderate cold exposure but conferred some potential 
      vascular and metabolic effects.
