      This randomized cross-over study tested the hypothesis that heat acclimation training would detrimentally affect sleep variables and alter incidental physical activity compared to a thermoneutral training control condition. Eight recreationally trained males (V̇ O2peak 49±4.9 mL. kg<sup>-1</sup>.min<sup>-1</sup>) completed two separate interventions separated by at least 31 days: 5 consecutive day ...
    • Short-term heat acclimation preserves knee extensor torque but does not improve 20 km self-paced cycling performance in the heat

      <i>Purpose</i> - 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 heat.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - Eight recreationally trained males completed two 5-day training blocks (cycling 60 min day<sup>−1</sup> at 50% peak power output) in a counter-balanced, cross-over design, with a 20TT ...
