“…Yet, rectal temperature is negatively correlated to distance covered in intermittent running (Morris, Nevill, Lakomy, Nicholas, & Williams, 1998;Morris, Nevill, & Williams, 2000) and heat strain is negatively correlated to peak power output of 40 min of intermittent sprint cycling (Castle et al, 2006;Maxwell et al, 2008). Therefore, heat acclimation may weaken the negative relationship between heat strain and peak power output and appears to help, in part, by lowering core temperature during exercise by up to 0.48C (Buono, Heaney, & Canine, 1998;Buono, Numan, Claros, Brodine, & Kolkhorst, 2009;Sunderland et al, 2008).…”
