Exercise in Heat

Used to get an athlete used to exercise within the heat Reduced Salinity Pre sweating response Used to help marathon runners get used to being in the heat for prolonged periods Olympic events Summer tournaments

Dehydration Increase in core temp Restricted blood flow Decreased glycogen capacity

Can be lost by radiation, conduction, conviction and evaporation Can be gained by metabolism or the environment

Thermometers Thermoguns These ain’t accurate at all usually off by one degree Thermometer pills allowing for true internal temps Rectal probe Core monitor Like a heart strap Maximal temperature for a study is 39.5

Regulated by the preoptic-hypothamulus Thermoreceptors detect this through the sympathetic nervous system

Performance decreases over time Heart rate increase

Takes into account dry heat Those who take fluids tend to have lower core temperatures during prolonged exercise as they can maintain skin blood flow

Physiological changes as a result of living in a hot climate for a while By performing a period of heat acclimatisation athletes can develop beneficial Physiological changes and adaptations that may help maintain prolonged exercise

Increased plasma volume Reduced heart rate Increased sweat rate Reduced core temperature

Baseline testing Isoprogressive maintaining core temperature Short and long term adaptation Going off to warmer climates

May over rise of core temperature Heat stroke deaths Caused due to a failure of recognised symptoms Medical tents which have ice baths Races maybe cancelled or delayed
