CrossFit Games 2016: New Cool Secrets and Winning Advantages of a Hyperthermic-Fitness Strategy
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA (PRWEB) July 18, 2016 -- The 10th edition of the CrossFit Games begins in Los Angeles from July 19 – 24, 2016. New research suggests adding “hyperthermic conditioning” might determine the next CrossFit Games winner.
Hot losers – cool winners! In the 2015 games, many elite athletes left the field on stretchers due to heat stroke and dehydration after enduring the brutal “Murph” event. The July California heat and sun was more than many of them could withstand.
Paradoxically, some of the CrossFit competitors were able to withstand and conquer the heat and sun during this intensive competition. The explanation of winners and losers may simply be that the winning CrossFit athletes were “heat acclimated” while the losers were unable to perform in the scorching heat because they just weren’t hyperthermically-fit and ready or heat adapted.
A similar elite athletic competition studied heat acclimated athletes at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, entitled “Combined active and passive heat exposure induced heat acclimation in a soccer referee before 2014 FIFA World Cup” (Ruddock AD, Thompson SW, Hudson SA, James CA, Gibson OR, Mee JA.Springerplus. 2016 May 13;5:617. doi: 10.1186/s40064-016-2298-y). The study demonstrated that an 18 day workout regime of active and passive hyperthermic-fitness protocols induced physiological and thermoregulatory adaptations that improved high-intensity running performance and endurance in the heat.
Research shows that even elite athletes who include both “passive” and “active” hyperthermic conditioning fitness protocols to increase their core body temperature can significantly increase and holistically improve biochemistry physiology outputs for endurance gains.

Positive hyperthermic conditioning adaptations can occur in as few as 10 days, and routine exposure to simulated heat should be started as soon as possible.
