Average maximum temperature for each runner\u2019s country during the month preceding the MdS was collected from www.weatherbase.com. Athletes were divided into two T origin groups as follows:25to15 \u030aC (i.e., cold countries) and 15 to 35 \u030aC (i.e., warm countries).<\/p>\n<p>Results: Overall, 12 467 (10 828 men; 1639 women) athletes from 78 countries (37 cold; 41 warm) participated in the MdS during the 16-year study period. The ambient temperature of these countries one month prior to the MdS ranged from24.2 to34.4 \u030aC. Athletes\u2019 average running speed during the MdS ranged from 2.9 to 13.4 km\/h. Moreover, athletes who originated from warm countries ran the MdS 10.7% faster compared to athletes from cold countries. Conclusion: The natural heat acclimatization achieved by living in warmer countries seems to provide an advantage during the MdS.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.lib.purdue.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1107&amp;context=jhpee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/docs.lib.purdue.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1107&amp;context=jhpee<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ioannou LG, Tsoutsoubi L, Nybo L, Tsianos GI, Flouris AD.
