Heat adaptation training: get your 20% performance back!
The heat can negatively affect your performance by over 20 %. Instead of accepting this limitation and blaming it on “not my day”, use the full potential of the Heat adaptation.
What are the benefits of customization?
Through targeted heat training, your body learns to cope optimally with thermal stress and become more resistant to external heat.
- Increase in blood plasma volume: This increases the water content in the blood, massively improves internal cooling and has a performance-enhancing effect (similar to a Ringer’s solution).
- Optimized perspiration rate: A higher perspiration rate and improved blood flow to the skin lead to more efficient heat dissipation.
Important: Too high a sweat rate must be compensated for in competition, otherwise the weight loss will limit performance.
My results & experience
What I started intuitively in the 90s with a rain jacket on my bike, I implemented scientifically in 2023. In contrast to working with a cooling suit, I simulated the heat situation using a 15 KW heat radiator in my 3.5m x 3.5m “Pain Cave”.
- The result: Through the heat protocol I was able to increase my blood plasma volume by an extraordinary 6.8% (measured using the (measured using the CO rebreathing method).
- Confirmation: This was clearly reflected in my performance curve: my resting heart rate continued to fall (from 34 to 31/32), while my maximum heart rate increased.
Does heat training make sense for you?
I recommend heat training if you:
- Your training volume over 8 hours per week is.
- Top 10 rankings in the AG International.
- You the last 3-5% increase in performance you are looking for.
- Your A-competition takes place in a hot environment.
- You are preparing for a altitude training camp prepare for an altitude training camp.
My offer a 12-week heat adaptation training.
- Costs for 12 weeks program: CHF 2100,-
Investment in the heat pain cave (example costs)
The total cost of establishing your heat adaptation training center amounted to approx. CHF 2’850,-. These costs are a one-off charge.
