Mechanisms Underlying Hypoxic, Heat and Cross-tolerance Adaptation in Women
This study will consist of a parallel-groups design, with 30 healthy active female participants randomly assigned to either an experimental heat acclimation and exercise intervention, or a thermo-neutral exercise intervention control group. Interventions will be 10 days in duration, and consist of daily 60-minute exercise bouts under the appropriate environmental condition. Before and after each intervention, various tests will be conducted to establish exercise capacity under various environmental conditions, as well as underlying mechanisms of physiological adaptation induced by each intervention.
