Most professional and recreational athletes perform pre-conditioning exercises, often
collectively termed a 'warm-up'to prepare for a competitive task. The main objective of …

Regular physical activity supports healthy human functioning–. Might climate change—by
modifying the environmental determinants of human physical activity—alter exercise rates in …

Purpose Assess exertional heat illness (EHI) history and preparedness in athletes
competing in a World Athletics Championships under hot/humid conditions and identify the …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated passive heat exposure (ie,
acclimation) on muscle contractility in humans. Fourteen nonheat-acclimated males …

Heat stress, leading to elevations in whole-body temperature, has a marked impact on both
physical performance and cognition in ecological settings. Lab experiments confirm this for …

Objectives To determine preparticipation predictors of injury and illness at a major Athletics
championship. Methods A cohort study design was used. Before the 2015 International …

Methods: Twenty-six well-trained runners completed three weeks of interval training 28
assigned to one of three conditions: 1) LHTL hypoxic exposure plus heat training (H+ H; 29 …

Personnel who travel to areas with a hot climate (WBGT> 27° C) may suffer from the heat
(physiological strain, thermal discomfort, increased probability of heat illness), making them …

Purpose This study examined whether heat acclimation (HA) results in either predominate
improvements in heat dissipation or reduced endogenous heat production via individual …

Hot-water immersion (HWI) is a type of thermal therapy for treating various diseases. In our
study, the physiological responses to occasional and regular HWI have been explored. The …
