The Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021 were expected to be held in the hottest conditions compared to previous Olympic games. Under these conditions, human and equine athletes face challenging situations that may impede their performance and health. Heat acclimation (in a climate chamber) or acclimatisation (in a natural environment) induce physiological adaptations that mitigate thermal strain through improved thermoregulatory capabilities. While relocating horses for training involves significant logistics and costs, exercising in a heated treadmill room might interfere with the normal training regime, prompting the need for more practical methods. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 14-day period of heat acclimation by training in a heated indoor arena.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ec4ce3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ec4ce3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbccb5f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bbccb5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Methodology<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2803b43 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2803b43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1436f01 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1436f01\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5191c1d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5191c1d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a8ac31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a8ac31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Four warmblood horses selected for the Tokyo Olympic Games underwent a 14-day heat acclimation period 3 weeks before the competition date. The horses were trained for 60 minutes per day following their usual training routines in an indoor arena that was maintained at a temperature of 32 \u00b1 1 \u00b0C and a humidity of 50\u201360% during training times to simulate the hot, humid conditions of the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. A discipline specific exercise test was performed on the first and last day of the acclimation period. Various physiological responses, such as heart rate (HR), plasma lactate concentrations (LA), body temperature, and sweat loss, were measured both before and after exercise sessions to assess how well the horses adapted to the heat.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-684a4e0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"684a4e0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-307e813 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"307e813\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"465\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equineintegration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EI-Research-heat-acclimation-2-e1730112067649.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3125\" alt=\"Horse and rider happy during the preparation for the Tokyo Olympic Games in a heated indoor arena\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d88fcbf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d88fcbf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26c3b3a elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26c3b3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Results<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62a811a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"62a811a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94e115f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94e115f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The study found that a 14-day heat acclimation period, with 60 minutes of daily training in heated indoor arenas (32\u00b0C, 50-60% humidity), significantly reduces thermal strain in horses.
