Identifies factors influencing performance decrements in elite athletes during exercise in heat, suggesting new training considerations.
We identified that variables related to exercise responses (ie, HR, dehydration), athlete characteristics (ie, BMI, sex), thermoregulatory responses (ie, TC), and perception (ie, thermal discomfort) were associated with performance decrements during exercise in the heat. Our multivariable regression model explained 58% of the magnitude of performance decrements.
