  1. Change in core temperature during each 2-hour cycle per treatment/measuring-cycle and technique. Note that in 10 treatment/measuring-cycles all 3 methods were completed and in 8 treatment/measuring-cycles just the 'conventional' and the 'Allon' methods were completed, however all 18 treatment/measuring-cycles were performed in a randomized fashion.
