“…Nonetheless, some sources have reported the effectiveness of shorter (either duration of exercise or number of days or both) protocols (Chalmers, Esterman, Eston, Bowering, & Norton, 2014;Charlot et al, 2017;Garrett, Creasy, Rehrer, Patterson, & Cotter, 2012;Garrett, Goosens, Rehrer, Patterson, & Cotter, 2009;Garrett et al, 2014;Houmard et al, 1990;Kelly, Gastin, Dwyer, Sostaric, & Snow, 2016;Petersen et al, 2010). Of these, only a couple of studies involved short-duration exercise (e.g., high-intensity interval training or SIT), with mixed results (Kelly et al, 2016;McGarr, Hartley, & Cheung, 2014). Kelly et al (2016) investigated the effect of five sessions of high-intensity interval training (3 6 5 min bouts with intensity alternating between 30% and 90% V O 2max every 30 s) spread over nine days on heat acclimation adaptations in moderately fit Australian football players.…”
