Examples of heat-acclimatisation strategies

	Objective	Duration	Period	Content	Environment
Preseason/in-season training camp	Enhance/boost the training stimulus	1–2 weeks	Preseason or in season	Regular or additional training (75–90 min/day) to increase body temperature and induce profuse sweating	Natural or artificial heat stress
Target competition preparatory camp	Optimise future reacclimatisation and evaluate individual responses in the heat	2 weeks	1 month before competing in the heat	Regular or additional training, simulated competition and heat response test	Equivalent to or more stressful than target competition
Target competition final camp	Optimise performance in the heat	1–2 weeks—depending on results of preparatory camp	Just before the competition	Precompetition training	Same as competition
