Heat Mitigation Strategies with Julien Périard, PhD #229

KoopCast

Uncover the secrets to excelling in extreme heat with Julian Perriard, a leading expert in environmental physiology. As the Western States Endurance Run approaches, Julian provides cutting-edge strategies for heat mitigation, including ice baths, slurries, and menthol gels. With rising global temperatures impacting athletic performance, we delve into crucial safety measures for endurance athletes. Learn how to maximize your performance while staying safe, regardless of the weather conditions.
Julian also shares his expertise on heat acclimation strategies tailored for athletes. From exercising in environmental chambers to passive methods like hot baths, we explore how to incorporate heat acclimation into your training without compromising performance. Discover the physiological benefits of thJulien Périard is a Research Professor and Deputy Director of the University of Canberra Research Institute for Sport and Exercise (UCRISE), where he also leads the Environmental Physiology Research Laboratory. His integrative research examines the physiological mechanisms that mediate health and performance during exercise in adverse environments (heat and altitude) and the adaptations that stem from chronic exposure. He has worked with both amateur and professional athletes from various disciplines, along with National (Australian Institute of Sport) and International Federations (FIFA, World Athletics and World Triathlon). His work also examines how regular exercise can build resilience against rising global temperatures. He has authored over 125 research papers and book chapters, including a textbook on Heat Stress in Sport and Exercise and an invited review in Physiol Rev (which we will be discussing today!).
