Abstract
Heat acclimation is achieved by repeated exposure to hot environments and is characterised by a physiologically adapted state, which enhances sporting performance in the heat. Despite extensive research in this field, the independent effects of habitual training versus training in the heat on changes in blood parameters have not been well delineated. In addition, our current understanding of the changes that occur within human skeletal muscle following training in the heat are unclear. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to 1) evaluate the relationships between habitual training versus training in the heat on blood parameters in elite athletes and 2) investigate the acute responses within human skeletal muscle in well-trained athletes, following exercise in the heat.
