Heat training adaptations -
TIPS This test can be very uncomfortable. For 'at home' tests without a warmed environment, the warmer you dress to contain your heat, the shorter the test. For further information, we have a supplement for the Heat Ramp Test for cyclists and a suplement for the Heat Ramp for runners which are worth reading in advance to ensure you get the best out of your test.
The timed ramp-up ensures the core body temperature rises slowly rather than rapidly. Variations: The target FTP may be adjusted, if FTP is lowered this will extend the total test time. If warm clothing is worn to hold warmth , the target FTP should be lowered e.
The warmup can be adapted to suit, but should be consistent for repeatability and be advised of potential risks of overheating and remain safe.
When you start the test, to maintain the constant heart rate, you will generally need to gradually your lower power output. If you are struggling to reach the first checkpoint, this could be related to your setup or your own individual thermoregulation and further information is available here.
The Test is now complete. Stop all activity completely and take note of the core body temperature. As you rest, your core body temperature can continue to rise and peak before cooling. Graph 1. Calculating the Heat Training Zone The Heat Training Zone range is calculated from the Core Body Temperature 1 value.
Core Body Temperature 1 minus 0. The temperature range for the Heat Training Zone may be lower than anticipated. In contrast to other sports training workout, for Heat Training " More is not better ". Going beyond the heat training zone will not increase the benefits.
Repeating the Heat Ramp Test after Heat training. Heat Block Training precedes Heat Training and intensively builds your athletic conditioning before you move into your regular training program. The underlying benefit of Heat Block Training is increased power output and more efficient cooling.
Coaching approaches can vary significantly, for example, Heat Block Training can be started early in the training program or later in the program, shortly before competition. Often an early start at the beginning of the training season is favoured as a routine is established with minimal disruption to other training components before major competitions.
Your core body temperature behaviour and your physical condition is very individual to you so the following information is intended as a general guide which should be adapted by your coach to ensure it is suits your objectives and enables you to remain safe. Be aware that people without sports training experience are advised to seek professional guidance first.
A typical Heat Block Training period of 2 - 4 weeks involves 6 - 7 Heat Training Workouts a week and can also be combined with other training workouts typically low-intensity workouts. This is an indoor activity undertaken for the duration of two to four weeks using a home trainer.
Preferably, it is a warmer room and artificially increasing your heat by overdressing with leg warmers and a jacket which contains your heat, will make it easier. With the Heat Ramp Test, you should already have identified your individual Heat Training Zone.
For many athletes this may be around Your coach can provide further guidance if you should adjust the Heat Training Zone. During the workout, as you get close to the Heat Training Zone, begin to back-off your effort. As core body temperature is a slow-moving metric, you can plan ahead to try and stabilise.
A typical workout duration is 45 - 60 minutes within the Heat Training Zone and total activity duration of 90 minutes maximum. You may notice that your power output is far lower than you anticipate.
This is normal and take care not to follow be guided by power output. Your heart rate will typically be within your threshold heart rate range and can be used as an indicator to help you naturally adjust and regulate your power to try and remain close within your Heat Training Zone.
Usually after just a few days of Heat Block Training, athletes will start to see results in which they can maintain the Heat Training Zone core body temperature, but will see an increase in their power output levels.
After Heat Block Training, the objective is to maintain the conditioning you have acquired in preparation for competition, while also doing all of your other training activities such as Interval Training, High and Low Intensity Training, Strength Training, Outdoor and Endurance Training.
Typically 2 - 4 Heat Training Workouts are incorporated into the weekly training schedule and these can be combined with other workouts e. g extending a HIIT workout so that it transforms into a Heat Training Workout. Due to the individuality of athletes and the many different training approaches, this introduces a huge scope for conducting effective Heat Training and so the following guidance is published with the understanding that it should be adjusted to suit.
A single Heat Training Workout can be planned on a lower intensity day. With this approach, as a rough guide, the training program would include 2 - 4 Heat Training Workouts each week. Alternatively, a high intensity workout can be planned to elevate the core body temperature into the Heat Training Zone.
To compensate for the elevated temperature, the power output needs to be reduced. This means some existing training workouts can be modified or extended for the heat training value. Using hot baths and saunas can help increase the core body temperature or to maintain core body temperature and slow the rate of cooling.
Maintaining the elevated core body temperature directly after training can have the effect of prolonging the physiological effects of conditioning the body while saving physical effort. As a guide, athletes should avoid rapid cooling following training, particularly for Heat Training.
At minimum, sit and allow the body to slowly cool and return to its normal temperature. Please note that the CORE sensor is not yet validated for sauna use, and its accuracy will be lower there.
We recommend removing the CORE sensor before entering the sauna, and then wearing it again afterward to track your continued elevated core temperature. Warning: Please take note of the risks of Heat Training and seek guidance from an accredited and experienced coach.
Why does Heat Training help improve athletic performance? The short answer is that this stress acts to condition the body. During intense sports, as the body heats, the body expends more energy pumping blood to the skin to aid cooling.
This means there is less blood directed to the muscles for power generation. By default, when you are cooler your effective power output is higher. In terms of environmental conditions, time trial performance was improved in all studies, however, only one study investigated a time trial in thermoneutral conditions.
One study that conducted a performance test in a thermoneutral environmental condition observed improved performance, while five out of the six tests that were performed in the heat saw improvements. Figure 9. A Regression of Hedge's g on induction length for mean power exercise performance following heat acclimation.
B Regression of Hedge's g on fitness level for mean power exercise performance following heat acclimation. Of the nine thermoneutral VO 2max tests, eight observed improvements in performance following HA induction.
Of the 12 in hot tests, seven observed performance improvements following HA induction. The largest performance improvement was observed in time to exhaustion with an average improvement of Tyler et al. Additionally, internal body temperature decreases an average of 0. One possible mechanism that could explain the improvements seen in time to exhaustion include lower internal body temperature at baseline and during exercise and heart rate that occur over the course of HA.
These performance improvements following HA were most likely due to increases in maximal cardiac output, lactate threshold and plasma volume, lowered skin temperature and a larger core-to-skin gradient as seen in previous research Périard et al.
However, VO 2max might be impacted through improved fitness induced by exercise training alone compared to HA specifically Brooks et al. Finally, peak power is not specifically a measurement of aerobic performance, thus, might not be impacted as substantially as other tests from HA.
One potential moderator that could explain some of the variance between studies that could not be accounted for in this analysis is the number of days of rest following HA before testing.
There were a wide variety of reporting methods for the metric that does not allow for certainty in this analysis. In general studies reported completing the tests anywhere from one to seven days following HA induction.
A recent paper by Daanen et al. demonstrated that internal body temperature was lowered three and seven days following HA induction compared to the day immediately following HA induction.
Thus, leading one to believe that performance adaptations may also be improved with a few days of recovery following HA induction, however, future research is needed Daanen et al. Another meta-analysis has extensively examined the timeline of HA decay and concluded that internal body temperature and heart rate responses typically decay at a rate of 2.
The importance of recovery has even been examined and reported when seeking optimal training improvements in a thermoneutral environment and 96 h of rest following training was suggested Waldron et al.
The results from both of these manuscripts point to the importance of finding the appropriate balance between recovery and acclimation decay for optimal performance results. While differentiating the performance outcomes between HA and training alone is of importance, the current analysis did not examine these differences.
HA appears to improve time trial performance compared to controls Guy et al. One short term HA protocol 4—6 days did not elicit statistically significant improvements in time trial performance compared to a control group, however, moderate to large effect sizes were reported Willmott et al.
Time to exhaustion improved with HA in all studies, but not with control groups Nielsen et al. In terms of VO 2max , the performance differences between HA and training are unclear, as some studies reported differences between the groups and other did not Lorenzo et al.
Peak power may improve with HA compared to training alone, however, the results are unclear and future research is needed Keiser et al. Both studies that assessed mean power demonstrated improved performance benefits from HA compared to a control group Lorenzo et al.
To determine the true performance changes of HA compared to training alone, future studies should aim to include a control group within their study design. As previous research has clearly established, HA is an effective strategy to improve time to exhaustion and this was evident in the current meta-analysis, as no study reported decrements.
Pandolf et al. The purpose of this particular research was to examine differences in young and middle age males over the course of HA who were matched for several morphological factors and the magnitude of performance time change was much larger for the younger group than the middle age group, due to the younger group reaching exhaustion much sooner than the middle age group at the beginning of HA, however, the middle-age group was not included in this analysis since their baseline test did not meet the inclusion criteria Pandolf et al.
The authors of this study hypothesized that the higher training volume of the middle aged men explained their thermoregulatory advantage at the beginning of HA, as they reported running on average 20 more miles per week than the younger men, pointing to the importance of previous training for improved thermoregulation capabilities Pandolf et al.
Despite this difference, HA induction successfully allowed the younger men to reach the same thermoregulatory capacity as middle aged men Pandolf et al. Two studies included in this meta-analysis did not observe any time to exhaustion performance improvements following HA induction Pandolf et al.
One potential explanation of these findings in one of these studies is the low exercise intensity of the test walk at 1. Similarly, the other group in the Pandolf et al. study was able to tolerate the test well on the first day of HA, most likely due to their training history Pandolf et al.
Of the moderators entered into the meta-regression, induction method and fitness level appear to explain some of the variance seen in this type of performance test following HA.
One possible mechanism to explain this finding is the potential increase in area under the heating curve with controlled work rate exercise intensity during HA, as the isothermal method might actually lead to a lower overall thermal load since the exercise is adjusted to maintain a temperature of While recent evidence suggests that peak internal body temperatures of 39°C are not more advantageous than the traditional isothermal temperature of Data from the Union Cycliste Internationale Road Cycling World Championship demonstrated the capability of elite level athletes to tolerate internal body temperatures well above what is often reported in the HA literature as high as An increased thermal load has the potential to drive HA through several mechanisms, including, an increased cardiac response, skin temperature, and sweat rate Shibasaki et al.
While increased internal body temperature has the potential to elicit greater HA adaptations, a valid measure of internal body temperature ingestible thermistor or rectal temperature and professionals trained in recognizing and treating exertional heat illness is needed when intentionally inducing HA in this way to ensure athlete safety.
Fitness level also appeared to impact the results seen in this performance test, as studies with higher starting VO 2max values appeared to have greater improvement in this type of performance test.
Because of the stimulation of sweating and skin blow flow Piwonka et al. Time trial performance is arguably the most applicable in the sport setting and every study included in this meta-analysis demonstrated faster times following HA induction.
Garrett et al. A previous review by Periard et al. demonstrated aerobically fit individuals can develop adaptations to HA rapidly Périard et al. Lee et al. Willmott et al. Previous research suggested 60— min of exercise duration to induce optimal adaptations following HA, therefore, 30 min of exercise for each session in this study might not be enough to elicit optimal adaptations Sawka et al.
It has been well-established that fitness level contributes substantially to someone's ability to thermoregulate and that individuals with higher fitness levels already demonstrate some physiological parameters of HA Pandolf et al.
One interesting phenomenon that is evident from this meta-analysis is that there are also improvements of VO 2max following HA induction.
Keiser et al. observed a 9. Lorenzo et al. VO 2max was lower following HA in eight studies, unlike time to exhaustion and time trial performance tests that did not demonstrate any negative outcomes following HA. There are several factors that could help explain these negative findings, including the fatigue, training impulse, and the participant's starting fitness levels.
Similar to any novel training, HA introduces new stress to the body and can lead to fatigue. Daanen et al. recently demonstrated further performance improvements following HA when a break was initiated at the cessation of induction prior to the performance test Daanen et al. Aoyagi et al.
Similarly, Febbraio et al. There were no moderators that largely impacted the magnitude of changes seen in VO 2max. Power is another critical performance measurement that can be applicable in sport settings. In this meta-analysis, mean power and peak power were analyzed. Mean power was improved by 12 W, on average.
Duvnjak-Zaknich et al. However, Wingfield et al. The studies showing larger improvements achieved longer length of HA induction. In addition to this point, Wingfield et al. measured mean power during five times of 6 s sprints, while other studies performed mean power during aerobic exercise test, such as 60 min exercise.
HA induction could be more beneficial to improve mean power during aerobic exercise following longer duration of induction length. This finding is in line with original research which pointed to the full adaptations of HA taking 10 days Armstrong and Maresh, However, these findings should be interpreted with caution, as there were only seven studies included in this analysis and other variables, such as the participant's previous training history, were not accounted for and could contribute to this variability.
In fact, fitness level was approaching statistical significance in the regression model and may contribute to the variability with increased statistical power. Peak power was improved 15 W, on average. Peak power was measured during a graded exercise test, repeated short sprint test, and longer duration exercise.
There were no moderators that significantly impacted the results seen in peak power, most likely due to this type of test not directly measuring aerobic capacity, but more likely anaerobic capacity.
While the goal of this meta-analysis was to provide an overview of various performance tests, this meta-analysis was not without limitations. One limitation of this meta-analysis was that some papers did not report correlations which was necessary to calculate ES in the statistical software.
In this case, the lowest correlation value was used to achieve the most conservative outcomes. Even though females were included in this analysis, it is unclear if the current findings can be extrapolated to this population due to the variety of or lack of control over menstrual cycle status.
For example, one study did not control for menstrual cycle status and simply reported that the findings were not different when females were excluded from the analysis Pethick et al. Another study reported completing pre-tests and HA during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and post-tests during the luteal phase James et al.
Still, some did not report information about menstrual cycle status Horstman and Christensen, ; Ashley et al. A further limitation of this meta-analysis was that each type of performance test had slightly different testing methods. For example, the distance of the time trial was not the same among the studies but were still categorized as a time trial.
The moderator analysis may help with the interpretation of these results. While the physiological mechanisms behind power, endurance, and sprint tests cannot be understated, there were not enough peak power and mean power studies to utilize these categories as moderators in the current analysis.
Another limitation was when data needed to calculate effect size was not reported in text or tables and it was demonstrated in figures, the data was estimated using a ruler. Additionally, while all studies reported the use of internal body temperature assessment, very few reported the actual internal body temperature data during HA induction and this meta-analysis could not include this information as a moderator.
However, a previous review indicated an increased internal body temperature during HA is a critical factor to induce adaptations Périard et al.
Future research should ensure that the internal body temperature data during the HA sessions are reported. A wide range of HA induction protocols have been investigated in this meta-analysis.
The largest performance improvement was observed in time to exhaustion followed by time trial, mean power, VO 2max , and peak power following HA.
The results observed in these performance tests were each impacted differently by specific moderators. Performance enhancements were greater in time to exhaustion tests when a controlled work rate method was utilized for HA and when the participants of these studies began the HA with higher baseline fitness levels, as indicated by VO 2max.
Time trial results were improved if the HA induction involved low exercise intensity, which could be related to the participants in these studies not experiencing fatigue from high intensity HA.
Longer HA induction i.

Training in the Heat - Hydration, Cardiovascular Adaptation, and Heat AcclimatizationHeat training adaptations -
Every one of us can adapt to heat. The better news: Running in the heat can help improve your training in cooler weather, too. To gain the benefit, keep reading for everything you need to know about heat acclimatization and how to do it right.
Heat acclimatization is the process of becoming more tolerant of heat by gradually increasing the duration or intensity of work done in a hot setting. Getting your body accustomed to performing in warmer temps is a strategy that scientists and coaches have known is effective since the first studies were published back in the s, says Stravos Kavouras, Ph.
Training your body for the heat becomes crucial when the mercury rises above a certain threshold. You start to see negative effects of dehydration amplified at 24 degrees Celsius [75 degrees Fahrenheit].
Heat acclimatization improved time-trial performance and power output and increased blood plasma volume and max cardiac output to similar extents in both cool and hot conditions, according to research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology , which involved 12 trained cyclists who took part in a day heat acclimation program.
But other internal responses have already kicked into gear, too. Acclimatizing to the heat also increases your plasma volume, a. That helps you work at a higher VO2 max with less effort and further boosts your capacity to sweat.
Those exposures should be a combination of active heat acclimatization, like working out in the heat, and passive, such as sitting in a hot tub or sauna post-workout. One quick caveat: If you have any underlying conditions that might get exacerbated by heat, check with your doctor before adding heat training to your schedule.
Research has shown that passive sessions are quite effective, but make sure some of your sessions are still hot-weather runs, says Minson. The workouts you do in the heat should be at an easy or moderate effort and last about 30 minutes, maybe a bit longer, Minson says.
Keep your tougher-effort speed sessions in a more comfortable temperature for the biggest gains. Elite athletes often train in enclosed chambers where the temperature is easily regulated, but you can create something similar at home.
Take our free 2-minute quiz to discover how effective your training is and get recommendations for how you can improve. In addition to avoiding potential negatives associated with a single-phase protocol, there are several advantages of using a two-phase protocol:.
As a result, I felt the safest approach was a two-phase approach so I could use lessons from the first to calibrate the second. Note: this example is from my own training, and I rarely present my own behaviors as advice. In this case, I would still apply the same principles with any athlete, just with subtle variations on the timing.
First, I knew I was going to build a 4-day training camp around a course recon hosted by Aravaipa Running on April 2 nd. This 4-day block would be the biggest block of training in the entire build up 5. That block of training served as the anchor for the rest of the calendar.
All the other long runs and training interventions revolved around its orbit. Next, because of the stress of the training camp, I knew I wanted it to create the break between the first and second rounds of sauna work.
Essentially, I wanted to end the first phase and begin the maintenance phase just before that block. I kept that phase of training at a normal volume, careful not to increase volume or the volume of intensity.
Finally, I scheduled the second sauna block during the final 14 days before the race, to coincide with the taper. This means training dramatically reduces to accommodate the stress of the sauna, and also to rest before the race. Will this work? Time will tell!
A two-phase heat acclimation approach offers a low risk, adaptable approach to an often problematic, but necessary, training intervention.
Even if you think you know how you are going to adapt to your tried-and-true method, I encourage you to think about utilizing a two-phase approach. At best you compound your heat training adaptations from first round to the second.
At worst when done correctly you are only out the time you spent in the sauna. Not a bad trade off. By Jason Koop , Head Coach of CTS Ultrarunning. Learn step-by-step how to overcome limited training time and get faster. Walk away with a personalized plan to increase your performance.

However, research shows that heat training can be Heat training adaptations beneficial in preparation Respiratory health and pollution races and overall exercise performance. Learn more about what heat training is, its benefits, and how to get started below. There are three classic signs that heat acclimation has been achieved: lower heart rate, lower core temperature, and a higher sweat rate during exercise heat stress 1. For many athletes these are fairly easy signs to monitor during training. Once heat acclimation has been achieved you can expect your skin temperature to be lower and to begin sweating earlier in your workout with a greater sweat volume throughout.
