Heat acclimatization has a number of benefits

Heat acclimatization involves the body adapting to heat stress by stimulating physiological changes that will improve heat tolerance.



Used as a method of improving sporting prowess. Training in High Temps Heat doesn't take very long-around five days to a week if it's extremely humid. Heat acclimatization via strenuous exercise induces responses attributed to both passive heat exposure and training in cool environments. Your sweat rate and sodium-loss rates change with the heat.


Heat acclimatization makes for a better correlation between the thirst and the water needs, raising the blood volume and total body water. This offten decreases the risk of experiencing heat cramps.


Did you know that it takes 10-14 days for your body to adjust to warm weather exercise? It could take a longer or shorter period for some athletes. Beginning with the second day of heat acclimatization, sweating installs sooner and is more abundant, increasing body's mechanism of cooling by sweat evaporation, this lowers skin temperature.


Although athletes may be tempted to believe that the need for fluid replacement will decrease as they become adjusted to the heat, heat acclimatization will actually increase the requirement for fluid replacement because of the enhanced sweating response.


Be especially cautious not to overdo it during this period. Drink fluids before, during and after exercise. Wear light colored, loose clothing. And most importantly, listen to your body!
