Performance measures during time trials in the heat (35°C, 30% RH).
HTT1 | HTT2 | HTT3 | |
---|---|---|---|
Distance (km) | 7.96 ± 0.58 | 8.06 ± 0.55 | 8.20 ± 0.59∗† |
Mean power (W) | 180 ± 34 | 185 ± 32 | 195 ± 36∗† |
Mean speed (km ⋅ h−1) | 31.9 ± 2.3 | 32.3 ± 2.2 | 32.8 ± 2.4∗† |
Data are presented as mean ± SD. HTT1, time trial pre-acclimation; HTT2, time trial following 4-days heat acclimation; HTT3, time trial following 9-days heat acclimation. ∗Significant increase from HTT1; †Significant increase from HTT2, (p < 0.05).
