Comparative Effects of Exercise in Hot and Thermoneutral Conditions on Aerobic Performance and Heat-Related Physiological Adaptations (IMAGE)
Caption
Graphical summary of a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing exercise in hot conditions (ExH) with exercise in thermoneutral conditions (ExN). Twenty-three studies involving 413 participants were included. Compared with ExN, ExH produced greater improvements in aerobic performance, resting and exercise core temperature, exercise heart rate, and sweat rate, whereas no significant between-group difference was observed for exercise skin temperature. Within-group analyses further indicated that ExN alone could induce modest reductions in exercise core temperature and heart rate.
