Heat acclimation (HA) protocols repeatedly expose individuals to heat stress. As HA is
typically performed close to the pinnacle event, it is essential that the protocol does not …

Purpose: Prolonged physical exertion and environmental heat stress may elicit postexercise
depression of immune cell function, increasing upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) …

This study aims to determine the effects of prolonged exercise in the heat (31 C) and cool
(18 C) environments on salivary Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) among recreational athletes …

Multistage, ultra-endurance events in hot, humid conditions necessitate thermal adaptation,
often achieved through short term heat acclimation (STHA), to improve performance by …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise in a hot and humid
environment on salivary lactoferrin and lysozyme. A secondary aim was to quantify the …

Context: The measurement of body temperature is crucial for the initial diagnosis of
exertional heat injury and for monitoring purposes during a subsequent treatment strategy …

Introduction Lysozyme is one of the salivary antimicrobial proteins which act as the “first line
of defence” at the mucosal surface. The effects of prolonged exercise in the hot and cool …

Although the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on health and sports
performance are well documented, the effects of this training type on mucosal immune …

This research compared thermal and perceptual adaptations, endurance capacity, and
overreaching markers in men after 3, 6, and 12 days of post-exercise hot water immersion …

Background Heat acclimation (HA) reduces the risk of exertional heat illnesses (EHI).
However, HA adaptations are temporary and must be sustained to safely perform physical …
