Comparison of physiological and perceptual measures taken during Session 2 and Session 10 of a heat acclimation intervention in well-trained rowers.
Fig 2.
Within-group (A) and between-group (B) comparison of change in blood parameters pre–post a 10-day heat acclimation protocol in national-level athletes. Shaded area represents trivial change. Percentage change and p-values are reported on the right-hand side for each variable. Main effects and interaction are reported below.

Comparison of physiological and perceptual measures of national-level rowing athletes taken during a 10-min submaximal rowing test performed at 95% of 30-min time-trial average power output, before (Pre) and after (Post) a 10-session heat acclimation intervention.

Percent change in average power output (A) relative peak oxygen uptake; (B), peak heart rate; HRpeak (C), rating of perceived exertion; RPE (D), respiratory exchange ratio; RER (E) and blood lactate; BLA (F) pre–post a 10-day heat acclimation in national-level rowers. Group data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance (p >0.05) is denoted by the symbol (*). Effects are illustrated via letters, with the following used to identify the magnitude of change; S (small), M (medium), L (large). Bolded letters and numerals represent between-group changes whilst non-bolded represent within-group changes.
