I love studies like this and often find so many great topics to write about just from scrolling through titles! The gastric emptying in heat hits hard for me as that is something I suffer greatly with. I lose about two 24 oz. bottles an hour here in Florida in the summer. My sweat rate is very high and that makes it almost impossible to replace what I need. It definitely becomes a challenge in long distance triathlons.
Thank you, Brittany. I'm glad the studies are interesting and useful for you.
The challenge of racing in the heat is quite significant and often the only thing we can do is slow down. Fortunately the conditions are the same for all competitors so that is a little comforting to know.
Thanks, what a great selection of studies - and great summaries and takeaways from each! Very helpful!
Thank you, Nico. I'm glad you found them useful.
