The effect of heat acclimation on critical environmental limits and rate of rectal temperature change Open
We assessed the effect of heat acclimation (HA) on critical environmental limits and rate of rectal temperature change. We show that more than 5 days of heat acclimation are required to increase critical environmental limits and that 9 day…
