Yes, training in heat can improve performance, particularly in endurance sports and for athletes competing in warm climates. Heat training, also known as heat acclimation, involves exposing the body to elevated temperatures to induce physiological adaptations that enhance the body's ability to cope with heat stress and improve performance in both hot and cooler conditions.
If they were not prepared for this prior to camp, it’s on them. Camp shouldn’t be used for heat acclimation, that should have been done so they could be ready day 1 to focus on football.
I do this and I do not get paid millions of dollars.
You keep using that word, but I don’t think you know what it means.
From ChatGPT:
Acclimatizing to heat—also called heat acclimatization or heat adaptation—typically takes 7 to 14 days of consistent exposure to hot conditions, depending on the individual and the level of heat stress.
? Overview of the Acclimatization Timeline
Day What Happens
1–3 Initial exposure triggers discomfort, high heart rate, heavy sweating. Body is inefficient at cooling.
4–7 Core temperature control improves, sweating becomes more efficient (starts earlier, more diluted), and heart rate decreases.
8–14 Full acclimatization for most healthy people. Body holds onto salt and fluids better, reduces risk of heat exhaustion.
Training camp where the team is located is exactly where you get acclimatized to the local environmental conditions.
