Erratum to: The Effects of Heat Adaptation on Physiology, Perception and Exercise Performance in the Heat: A Meta-Analysis (Sports Med, 10.1007/s40279-016-0538-5)

Abstract

Page 3, column 2, section 1.3, paragraph 4, lines 93-7: The following sentence, which previously read: “Previously, it was suggested that successful HA requires a minimum daily heat exposure of 2 h [10], and although more recently it has been suggested that a minimum of 1 h a day is required [8], it is difficult to find data to support either claim”. Should read: “Previously, it was suggested that successful HA requires a minimum daily heat exposure of 2 h [10], and although more recently it has been suggested that a minimum of 1 h a day is required [6], it is difficult to find data to support either claim”. Page 21, column 2, section 5, paragraph 1, lines 76-82: The following sentence, which previously read: “While it has previously been suggested that 7 days of HA is sufficient to induce “optimal” adaptation [8], data from Patterson et al. [31] show that if the thermal impulse is maintained, further benefit can be gained from longer protocols, suggesting that if time allows and an isothermal HA model can be adopted, longer protocols may be preferable”. Should read: “While it has previously been suggested that 14 days of HA is sufficient to “optimize aerobic performance” [6], data from Patterson et al. [31] show that if the thermal impulse is maintained, further benefit can be gained from longer protocols, suggesting that if time allows and an isothermal HA model can be adopted, longer protocols may be preferable”.
