Background Heat adaptation regimes are used to prepare athletes for exercise in hot
conditions to limit a decrement in exercise performance. However, the heat adaptation …

Purpose: Although recommendations for effective heat acclimation (HA) strategies for many
circumstances exist, best-practice HA protocols specific to elite female team-sport athletes …

Introduction There is considerable inter-individual variability in the physiological responses
to environmental stressors and so to accurately assess and monitor changes in an …

Purpose This study investigated the effect of 5 days of heat acclimation training on
neuromuscular function, intestinal damage, and 20 km cycling (20TT) performance in the …

A heat response test (HRT) assesses adaptations to heat stress and athlete readiness to
perform in hot conditions. However, testing is often not sport-specific, and is challenging to …

Purpose: Effectiveness of short-term heat acclimation (STHA), over 5-days (permissive
dehydration), on intermittent heat stress test (HST) with males. Methods: Ten, moderately …

Soccer is one of the world's most popular sports and is played across all seven continents,
resulting in highly variable environmental conditions across competitions. In this chapter, the …

Introduction A typical heat acclimation (HA) protocol takes 5–7 d of 60–90 minutes of heat
exposure. Identifying the minimum dose of HA required to elicit a heat adapted phenotype …

Hot environmental conditions can reduce exercise performance, work productivity, and
