Why Heat Matters for Performance
Training and competing in the heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s a performance limiter. This webinar breaks down how elevated temperatures affect human physiology, energy systems, and race-day output, offering science-backed solutions to mitigate those effects.
Chris shares practical, high-impact advice for athletes, coaches, and sports professionals who want to stay competitive as temperatures rise.
🔥 Key Takeaways from the Webinar:
✅ How heat affects physiology
Learn how core body temperature, hydration, and thermoregulation impact endurance, power output, and recovery.
✅ Training strategies for hot conditions
Discover how enviromental acclimation and targeted heat training can improve your race-day readiness.
✅ Cutting-edge cooling techniques
From ice vests to slushies' strategies — we cover what actually works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to staying cool.
✅ The difference between "cooling" and the "sensation of cooling"
Learn why feeling cool isn’t the same as being cool — and how to apply this knowledge to performance optimization.
