| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximal heat tolerance that healthy men can derive from participating in a cool-environment physical training programme, and how long they must train to achieve such tolerance. Healthy college students performed strenuous exercise in hot environment on several occasions during 11 weeks; in the intervals, they had daily half-hour training periods in a cool environment (21°C). It was found that 8 weeks of interval training in a cool environment produced 50% of the total adjustment resulting from heat acclimatisation. |
