In this study, we investigated the effects of half-time body cooling strategies using FANwet （fan with skin wetting）, ice slurry （ICE） ingestion, FANwet + ICE ingestion, and cold drink ingestion on subsequent thermoregulatory responses and the players’ perceptual responses during intermittent exercise performed to simulate a men’s lacrosse match while wearing protective equipment in the heat. Ten physically active men performed the following four cooling interventions in random order: FANwet, ICE, MIX （FANwet + ICE）, and CON （cold drink ingestion）. The rise in rectal temperature since half-time, skin temperature, thermal sensation, thermal comfort, and rating of perceptual exertion were lower under the FANwet and MIX conditions; however, there was no significant difference between the MIX and FANwet conditions. These results indicate that a body cooling strategy using FANwet is a feasible and effective cooling strategy during men’s lacrosse matches in the heat. However, cooling effects of ICE ingestion and additional cooling effects of combined FANwet and ICE ingestion were small in this study.
