WHAT HEAT STRESS ACTUALLY DOES TO YOUR BODY

THE SCIENCE

When you exercise in the heat, your body diverts resources away from performance and toward temperature regulation. The consequences are measurable — and manageable.

💪 REDUCED ENDURANCE

Rising core temperature increases cardiovascular strain and reduces oxygen delivery to working muscles — accelerating fatigue onset and limiting how long and how hard you can perform.

🧠 IMPAIRED CONCENTRATION

Heat stress affects cognitive function and decision-making — critical in technical or tactical sports where precision, reaction time and judgement are as important as physical output.

💧 DEHYDRATION & SLOWER RECOVERY

Fluid losses through sweating reduce blood volume and impair thermoregulation — compounding performance loss over time. When the body remains in an elevated thermal state after effort, physiological recovery is delayed, affecting readiness for the next session or event.

📖 A comprehensive peer-reviewed review confirms that endurance performance is meaningfully impaired in hot versus cool conditions — with the impairment growing as event duration increases. Cooling strategies including cooling vests are identified as among the most effective and practical interventions available. Périard, Eijsvogels & Daanen, Physiological Reviews, 2021
