- Abstract
This article presents information about the use of rectal thermometers to determine core body temperature, especially when there is a concern for a person exercising in hot temperatures. The importance of providing athletic trainers with practical learning experience in the use of rectal thermometers is discussed. Some athletic trainers have difficulty with the use of such thermometers because of emotional and psychological constraints and the article discusses ways to overcome such obstacles.
