In my previous article "Cross-adaptation to environmental stressors," I touched base on how heat training can be a safe intervention that can increase endurance performance in athletes. What will be touched on in this article is how heat training increases erythropoietin (EPO) which increases red blood cell (RBC) production. One of the physiological way used by athletes to improve their performance in endurance-related exercise is to increase their productions of red blood cells. [ 930 more words ]

Ventilatory Threshold: Analysis of the New Exercise Prescription As mentioned in my past articles, there is a twenty percent value of non-responders to exercise (3). Those who respond to exercise would see a decreased risk for mortality by forty to seventy percent (4)! Researchers are working to address the problem and beginning to discover one part of the many puzzles involving non-responders to exercise. [ 700 more words ]

Non-Responders to Exercise: Do Dosages Matter? *The issues that are about to be discussed are complex problems, and many aspects are involved. This blog only covers one aspect of the many solutions to the problem. In the previous article, The Rise of Obesity: The Overview, I have given a brief analysis of the importance of exercise. However, what I haven’t touched on is a complex problem: how to address those who don’t respond to their exercise workload. [ 955 more words ]

This is an important issue to address in the scientific community. Those who are considered responders to exercise can see a decrease in mortality by forty to seventy percent, regardless of age, gender, and disease. The decrease in mortality is largely due to the increase in cardiovascular fitness (...

Implementing heat training can help increase your blood volume, cardiac output, VO2 max, and keep your body temperature cool during intense exercise, which results in better performance in the heat and as well as at altitude(2,3). Hence, the idea of cross-adaptation or cross-tolerance is born.
