This can be\n                    particularly problematic for athletes with SCI who exercise in hot and humid\n                    conditions, like those during the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Heat acclimation\n                    can support optimal preparation for exercise in such challenging environments,\n                    but evidence is limited in endurance athletes with SCI. We evaluated whether\n                    seven consecutive days of exercise in the heat would result in heat acclimation.\n                    Five elite para-cycling athletes with SCI participated (two females, three\n                    males, median (Q1-Q3) 35 (31\u201351) years, four with paraplegia and one with\n                    tetraplegia). All tests and training sessions were performed in a heat chamber\n                    (30\u00b0C and 75% relative humidity). A time-to-exhaustion test was performed on day\n                    1 (pretest) and day 7 (posttest). On days 2\u20136, athletes trained daily for one\n                    hour at 50\u201360% of individual peak power (PPeak). Comparing pretest\n                    and posttest, all athletes increased their body mass loss (p=0.04), sweat rate\n                    (p=0.04), and time to exhaustion (p=0.04). Effects varied between athletes for\n                    core temperature and heart rate. All athletes appeared to benefit from our heat\n                    acclimation protocol, helping to optimize their preparation for the Tokyo 2020\n                    Paralympic Games.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2321-1832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]],"date-time":"2024-06-17T22:34:50Z","timestamp":1718663690000},"page":"733-738","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Chasing Gold: Heat Acclimation in Elite Handcyclists with Spinal Cord\n                    Injury"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Mike","family":"Lackner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Therapy, Swiss Paraplegic Centre, Nottwil,\n                    Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3163-4554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabian","family":"Grossmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports Medicine, Swiss Paraplegic Centre, Nottwil,\n                    Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3953-589X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Perret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuro-Musculoskeletal Functioning and Mobility, Swiss Paraplegic\n                    Research, Nottwil, Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine, University of Lucerne, Luzern,\n                    Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6401-4490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joelle L","family":"Flueck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports Medicine, Swiss Paraplegic Centre, Nottwil,\n                    Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4337-3865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anneke","family":"Hertig-Godeschalk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuro-Musculoskeletal Functioning and Mobility, Swiss Paraplegic\n                    Research, Nottwil, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"487","DOI":"10.1249\/mss.0b013e31802d3aba","article-title":"Impact of weather on marathon-running performance","volume":"39","author":"M R Ely","year":"2007","journal-title":"Med Sci Sports Exerc"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-014-0277-4","article-title":"Adaptation to hot environmental conditions: An exploration of the performance\n                    basis, procedures and future directions to optimise opportunities for elite\n                    athletes","volume":"45","author":"J H Guy","year":"2015","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102975","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtherbio.2021.102975","article-title":"Looking ahead of 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games: How does humid heat affect\n                    endurance performance?
