Abstract

The aim of this review is twofold: 1) provide a brief discussion surrounding the interindividual variability that has been observed within the context of heat acclimation/acclimatization, body cooling, and hydration strategies, and 2) provide the reader with a practitioner-focused approach for creating individualized heat mitigation strategies. Considering individual variability for heat acclimation and heat acclimatization, various body cooling strategies, and hydration assessment/fluid replacement is important to maximize effects of these strategies, which lead to better performance and health outcomes. There are many factors to consider, and comprehensive approaches are required. The evidenced-informed decision is critical when making an individual approach, and data will help to make decisions effectively. It is important to keep adjusting the approach based on observed data as data is useful information to check if the approach is effective. Specific considerations to individualize the plan are discussed in this review.

定制个人热缓解策略，以优化精英运动员的表现。

这篇综述的目的是双重的：1)提供一个关于在热适应/热适应、身体冷却和水化策略的背景下观察到的个体间变异性的简要讨论，2)为读者提供一个以医生为中心的方法来创建个性化的热缓解策略。考虑到热适应和热适应的个体差异，各种身体冷却策略和水合评估/液体替代对于最大化这些策略的效果非常重要，从而带来更好的表现和健康结果。需要考虑的因素很多，需要采取综合的方法。在制定个人方法时，有证据的知情决策至关重要，数据将有助于有效地做出决策。根据观察到的数据不断调整方法是很重要的，因为数据是检查方法是否有效的有用信息。本综述讨论了使计划个性化的具体考虑。
