Why choose to train at this time when temperatures are higher?

Benefits

● Promotion of better cardiovascular fitness;

● Increased maximal Vo2 and consequent increased blood plasma volume;

● Increased body strength and promotes bone health.

● Improved fitness for training also at low temperatures

Degrees of adaptability

● Improved tolerance over time (Regular or daily training until there is an

adaptation for the body to dissipate heat much more effectively) through

● Thermal adaptation (Adaptation at the level of cellular tissues when exposed to

more extreme heat situations)

How to introduce heat adaptability into our training routine

● Sauna, post-workout hot bath or exercise in direct exposure to heat minimize the impact of training, physically and psychologically will dictate results and parameters of the same session

According to Koop, the author who contributed most to the development of this topic: "Use of the sauna does not affect training as much as running in the heat, and the effects are equally positive." The same author advocates the idea that athletes should not drink water during these sessions to enhance the effect. Koop recommends spending 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, depending on tolerance

However, "thermal" training brings a lot of stress to the body, so it is recommended to drink 800 ml to 1 liter of water or electrolyte intake per hour during these sessions and to perform these workouts in places like sidewalk and urban roads or pedestrian areas for this purpose
