After many years of hard work, I am pleased to see this paper published in @BJSM_BMJ. A collaborative study between @HeatHealth_USYD and @UC_RISE.

Open access paper availabe here:

In our recent review we highlight the inter-individual variability in the heat acclimation phenotype.

We also highlight the inter-study variability in adaptations, in response to protocol characteristics (e.g. plasma volume).

Incredibly happy to see this review from @Petermc8's PhD published in Comprehensive Physiology...with an online heat acclimation predictor!
