Heat acclimation/acclimatization
Heat acclimatization is an important strategy to mitigate the risk of heat-related injuries. Heat adaptation, often referred to as heat acclimatization (i.e., naturally induced such as seasonal heat adaptation) or heat acclimation (i.e., heat adaptation induced via artificial means), refers to the physiologic adaptations that occur in response to recurrent elevations in core and skin temperatures from either exercise or high ambient temperatures, or a combination of both (Taylor, 2014; Periard et al., 2015). The common adaptations are marked increases in skin vasodilation and sweating, reduced core and skin temperatures, as well as improved fluid balance and cardiovascular stability. However, it is important to note that the level of physiologic adaptation is dependent on the type (i.e., passive vs. exercise-induced heat stress, dry vs. humid heat exposure), intensity, duration, frequency, and number of heat exposures (Taylor, 2014; Periard et al., 2015 ). Surprisingly, relatively little is known about the effects of seasonal heat adaptation on the body's ability to dissipate heat ( Taylor, 2014 ).
