Applying thermal therapy: Comparison of different commercially available heating devices to increase muscle temperature

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although various medical devices are available for the purpose of heat therapy, their effect on muscle temperature remains unclear. This study compared the effects of a water‐perfused suit (WPS), short‐wave diathermy (SWD) and hot‐water immersion (HWI) on muscle, core and skin temperatures, along with perceived thermal discomfort.

Impact of heat exposure during immobilization‐induced de‐training and re‐training on aerobic capacity and haemoglobin mass

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this work was to assess the effect of heat exposure on cardiorespiratory and haematological responses during de‐training and re‐training. Nineteen men (33.8 ± 2.7 years; 182 ± 5.7 cm, 84.4 ± 9.3 kg) completed 4 weeks of pre‐training followed by heat exposure (HEAT; n = 9) or control (CON; n = 10).
