PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS TO HEAT ACCLIMATION; REPERCUSSIONS ON CYCLING PERFORMANCE
… to intermittent sprint training during heat acclimation and the effect on intermittent sprint performance and 3) to examine the phenomena of cross- acclimation where the stressors of one environment (heat), might convey a performance benefit in alternative environments (cool and …

Are thermotolerance and heat acclimation related through the heat shock response?
… that allow survival after an acute, severe heat exposure) and heat acclimation (systemic adaptations that improve heat dissipation following chronic heat exposure) have traditionally been considered separate phenomena. However, recent studies in animals suggest these adaptations may be …

Effects of external and internal precooling on sudo- and vasomotor responses and adaptations to heat acclimation
Background Heat acclimation and precooling are strategies commonly used to mitigate heat stress during exercise in the heat. Physiological adaptations during heat acclimation include lower core temperature (Tcore), lower heart rate (HR), and increased sweat output during exercise at a given …

The effects of heat acclimation on physiological responses to sprint interval training at various pedal resistances
Heat acclimation (HA) is an effective strategy used to prepare athletes for competing in hot conditions which aims to improve thermoregulation and reduce physiological stress. However, traditional HA modalities are time consuming. Therefore, implementing repeated sprint training into a HA protocol …

The Effect of Ten Days of Heat Acclimation on Exercise Capacity during Acute Altitude Exposure (4350 m)
Acclimation to one environmental stressor may enhance adaptations to various other stressors in humans; this phenomenon has been described as cross-tolerance. Approaches to induce altitude acclimation in a relatively short time frame are needed, thus the purpose of our study was to examine the …

The impact of heat acclimation on physiological response to exercise and performance at hot and temperate conditions
Heat acclimation training programmes induces physiological adaptations to improve thermoregulatory, cardiovascular, sudomotor and metabolic responses during exercise in hot conditions. Such adaptations include increased sweat rate, improved maximal oxygen uptake, lowered resting and exercising core …

Effects of a heat acclimation program on physiologic and psychological responses to work and heat while wearing fire ensemble
Heat acclimation program effects on rectal temperature and heart rate during walks in the heat wearing structural fire protective ensemble (FE) were examined. On six consecutive days, male subjects (N = 7) walked 30 minutes on a treadmill (46--53% V˙O2peak) within a 40 +/- 2°C, 20--22% r.h. …

The effect of 10 days of heat acclimation on submaximal exercise economy and efficiency at 1600 m and 4350 m
Heat acclimation is known to increase exercise economy. Previous examinations suggest heat acclimation may preserve performance at altitude. This study examined the effect of using heat acclimation as a cross environmental stressor to improve exercise economy and efficiency during acute exercise at …

The effect of environmental temperature on exercise metabolism
… individuals is diminished during exercise in the heat, such that heat stress leads to an earlier onset of fatigue. Chronic exposure to hot conditions, however, may reverse this process. Exercise in cool conditions can either improve or reduce exercise tolerance depending on the severity of the …

Heat management strategies in elite rugby sevens
… of this thesis was to develop and implement heat management strategies for international elite men’s and women’s rugby sevens teams competing in hot and humid conditions. The first three of six experimental chapters aimed to characterise the physiological, perceptual, and performance …

The impact of exercise and thermal training interventions on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function in young and post-menopausal females
… (HFs). HFs consist of feelings of intense heat with rapid increases in cutaneous vasodilation and sweating that severely affect quality of life and increase cardiovascular disease risk. Treatment using hormone replacement therapy for HFs is contraindicated in some symptomatic females …
