A rise in body core temperature and loss of body water via sweating are natural
consequences of prolonged exercise in the heat. This review provides a comprehensive and …

It is widely accepted that warming-up prior to exercise is vital for the attainment of optimum
performance. Both passive and active warm-up can evoke temperature, metabolic, neural …

Exercising in the heat induces thermoregulatory and other physiological strain that can lead
to impairments in endurance exercise capacity. The purpose of this consensus statement is …

Exercise-induced increases in core body temperature could negative impact performance
and may lead to development of heat-related illnesses. The use of cooling techniques prior …

Background Exercise increases core body temperature (Tc), which is necessary to optimise
physiological processes. However, excessive increase in Tc may impair performance and …

Most professional and recreational athletes perform pre-conditioning exercises, often
collectively termed a 'warm-up'to prepare for a competitive task. The main objective of …

Exercise is impaired in hot, compared with moderate, conditions. The development of
hyperthermia is strongly linked to the impairment and as a result various strategies have …

International competition inevitably presents logistical challenges for athletes. Events such
as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games require further consideration given historical climate data …

Background: A majority of high profile international sporting events, including the coming
2020 Tokyo Olympics, are held in warm and humid conditions. When exercising in the heat …

Training and competition in major track‐and‐field events, and for many team or racquet
sports, often require the completion of maximal sprints in hot (> 30° C) ambient conditions …
