The purpose of this consensus statement is to provide up-to-date recommendations to optimize performance during sporting activities undertaken in hot ambient conditions. The most important intervention one can adopt to reduce physiological strain and optimize performance is to heat acclimatize. Heat acclimatization should comprise repeated exercise-heat exposures over 1-2 weeks. In addition, athletes should initiate competition and training in an euhydrated state and minimize dehydration during exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Following the development of commercial cooling systems (e.g., cooling vests), athletes can implement cooling strategies to facilitate heat loss or increase heat storage capacity before training or competing in the heat. Moreover, event organizers should plan for large shaded areas, along with cooling and rehydration facilities, and schedule events in accordance with minimizing the health risks of athletes, especially in mass participation events and during the first hot days of the year. Following the recent examples of the 2008 Olympics and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, sport governing bodies should consider allowing additional (or longer) recovery periods between and during events for hydration and body cooling opportunities when competitions are held in the heat.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40279-015-0343-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s40279-015-0343-6<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Download PDF:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Consensus-recommendations-on-training-and-competing-in-the-heat_2015-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Consensus-recommendations-on-training-and-competing-in-the-heat_2015-1.pdf<\/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>Racinais S, Alonso JM, Coutts AJ, Flouris AD, Girard O, Gonz\u00e1lez-Alonso J, Hausswirth C, Jay O, Lee JK, Mitchell N, Nassis GP, Nybo L, Pluim BM, Roelands B, Sawka MN, Wingo J, P\u00e9riard JD.
