Short-term endurance training in the cold with layered clothing mitigates perceptual strain during exercise in the heat.
European journal of applied physiology·July 4, 2026·PMID 42400623
Why it mattersAthletes and tactical personnel often train in cold environments but compete in heat. This study suggests that simply overdressing during cold-weather training may reduce perceptual strain in the heat, offering a practical alternative when traditional heat acclimation is not feasible.
