Abstract Objectives To determine the effect of heat acclimatisation (HA) training on blood profile and resting cardiac function in elite athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design Quasi-experimental. Methods Eleven athletes (10 m, 1f) with SCI (C5-T3) completed a five-day isothermic HA protocol whereby gastrointestinal temperature (Tc) was elevated to and maintained at ∼38.5 degrees Celsius (°C) via intermittent exercise for sixty minutes each day.
The impact of hydration status was investigated during a 5‐day heat acclimation (HA) training protocol versus mild/cool control conditions on plasma volume (PV) and performance (20km time‐trial (TT)). Sub‐elite athletes were allocated to one of two heat training groups (90 min/day): 1) dehydrated to ~2% body weight (BW) loss in heat (35°C; DEH; n=14); 2) euhydrated heat (35°C; EUH; n=10), where training was isothermally clamped to 38.5°C core temperature (Tc).
