The Importance of Thermal Regulation

The idea of thermal regulation is not cooling down more or warming up more, but trying to stay at a correct temperature. So in the same way that you might come up with an altitude acclimatization or acclamation plan going to Leadville or any altitude location, you should probably do the same with heat. And so one of the things that we do with professional riders and other sports is when we know they're going to compete in a hot environment or one where heat will be a limiter, then we institute a plan ahead of time.
