Heat Acclimation in Females
The Cardiovascular, Hematological, and Performance Response to Heat Acclimation in Healthy Trained Females
Trinity Western University
14 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Heat acclimation is when you repeatedly exposure yourself to heat so that your body adapts and better tolerates heat. This project will determine if completing a heat acclimation maintenance period after heat acclimation is more beneficial than heat acclimating alone for exercise performance in the heat. To determine this, participants will exercise in the heat before heat acclimation, after heat acclimation, and after heat acclimation maintenance. Researchers will assess the heart's pumping capacity, blood volume, body temperature, and exercise performance to determine which approach is more effective.
