Great pleasure to join @JessicaAnneMee and share some thoughts on the current state of understanding regarding sex differences in heat adaptation. Still plenty for us to figure out in this regard.

“The science helping athletes to beat the heat”

A recent piece in @NatureOutlook where we discuss some of the heat alleviation strategies for athletes ahead of @Tokyo2020. A clear focus on individualising interventions around each athlete.

Absolutely stoked to have successfully defended my thesis. Thanks to my examiners for a viva that felt much more like a science chat than than an exam, and to my supervisors and all of @UBSportExR for their immense support over the years. Cheers! 🥂 #PhDone

[UBSportExR @UBSportExR]

Tons of our research is done by our amazing PhD students and postdocs researchers. On #InternationalWomensDay let’s celebrate them, including @grace_tidmarsh @VivYJLee @agyapong_badu @nathaliekirby Others in the school - tag yourself in the replies & tell us what you research!

Mean increase of 8% in VO2max after 3 weeks of post-exercise sauna bathing. Great work from @nathaliekirby 👏👏👏

[Dan Hodgkiss @DanHodgey99]

Congrats @nathaliekirby and the team! 🙌🏼 Fantastic work!!🏃🏼‍♂️🔥

🚨New Review🚨 Sex differences in the physiological adaptations to heat acclimation

- sex-dependent (e.g. anthropometric, menstrual cycle)

- sex-independent factors (e.g. environmental conditions, fitness)

both influencing the physiological & performance adaptations
