Abstract

We investigated the effects of five consecutive days of short-term heat acclimation (STHA), with a 48-h recovery,onsimulated rugby league performance, peakoxygen uptake (O2peak), physiological and perceptual responses in atemperate environment.Twelve male rugby league players took part in a matched-...
