Impact of Exercise Heat Acclimation on Performance in Hot, Cool and Hypoxic Conditions Open
Purpose The aim of this study was to confirm the impact of heat acclimation on aerobic performance in hot conditions and elucidate the transfer of heat adaptations to cool and hypoxic environments. Methods Ten males (VO 2peak : 4.50 ± 0.50…

Physiological Function during Exercise and Environmental Stress in Humans—An Integrative View of Body Systems and Homeostasis Open
Claude Bernard’s milieu intérieur (internal environment) and the associated concept of homeostasis are fundamental to the understanding of the physiological responses to exercise and environmental stress. Maintenance of cellular homeostasi…

Exercise Heat Acclimation With Dehydration Does Not Affect Vascular and Cardiac Volumes or Systemic Hemodynamics During Endurance Exercise Open
Permissive dehydration during exercise heat acclimation (HA) may enhance hematological and cardiovascular adaptations and thus acute responses to prolonged exercise. However, the independent role of permissive dehydration on vascular and c…

Exercise heat acclimation has minimal effects on left ventricular volumes, function and systemic hemodynamics in euhydrated and dehydrated trained humans Open
This study demonstrates that 10 days of exercise heat acclimation has minimal effects on left ventricular volumes, intrinsic cardiac function, and systemic hemodynamics during prolonged, repeated semirecumbent exercise in moderate heat, wh…

Heat Acclimation with Controlled Heart Rate: Influence of Hydration Status Open
Purpose This study aimed to characterize the adaptive responses to heat acclimation (HA) with controlled heart rate (HR) and determine whether hydration strategy alters adaptations. The influence of HA on maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O 2max ) …

Validation of an ingestible temperature data logging and telemetry system during exercise in the heat Open
Aim: Intestinal temperature telemetry systems are promising monitoring and research tools in athletes. However, the additional equipment that must be carried to continuously record temperature data limits their use to training. The purpose…
