Hot off the Press: Recently Developed Strategies for Performance and Resilience During Exercise in the Heat

About this course

This course will discuss the thermophysiologic demands of tactical, occupational, and athletic populations during load carriage, common labor activities, and resistance exercise in the heat. A focus of this course will be to translate current evidence into actionable strategies that limit thermal burden during work in the heat through the development of physiological decision aids and work/rest design solutions. A second theme will be leveraging heat stress as an ergogenic stimulus to promote adaptations during aerobic and resistance exercise. Actionable topics include carbohydrate manipulation for optimal post-heat acclimation endurance performance and recommendations to promote safety and muscle protein synthesis during heated resistance exercise through muscular performance, endocrine, and cell signaling perspectives.

What you will learn

• Implement appropriate work/rest solutions, dietary manipulations, and thermophysiologic decisions aids to improve tactical, occupational, and athletic performance and safety during physical activity in the heat
• Evaluate heated resistance exercise programming parameters to promote a safe and effective workout
