Passive Heat Acclimation Protocol for Triathletes

Passive HA sessions were performed on days 2, 4, and 7 and were structured to align with triathletes’ typical weekly running frequency when tapering for competition (Mujika, 2011 (link)). Participants were instructed to undertake their normal run training, or to run for 30 min at a moderate intensity (RPE of 13) before entering the chamber. Participants then rested in the heat for 60 min. During passive HA sessions, HR was recorded every 10 min, while Tsk was assessed via an insulted skin thermistor (Squirrel SQ2010, Grant Instruments Ltd., Shepreth, United Kingdom) placed at the seventh cervical vertebra (Taylor et al., 2014 (link)). Finally, TS was noted pre-trial and at 20-min intervals.

Measuring Core and Muscle Temperatures

Core body temperature (Tc) was measured using a thermistor in the esophagus at a depth 48% of sitting height, minus 4.44 cm.43 (link) Muscle temperature (Tm) of the medial gastrocnemius was measured using a needle thermocouple (YSI 525, Yellow Springs Instruments, Yellow Springs, OH, USA) at a depth of 2 cm below the skin surface. Muscle temperature was measured throughout the water immersion protocol, and after exercise (<5 min post-exercise). All temperatures were recorded at 30-s intervals using portable, battery-operated loggers (Squirrel SQ2010, Grant Instruments, Cambridge, UK). Perceived ratings of body temperature and thermal discomfort were ascertained from a 13- and 5-point scale respectively (extended from Gagge44 (link)), at baseline and at 10, 20 and 30 min through the intervention.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
