Data For: The effects of heat acclimation on physiological responses to sprint interval training at various pedal resistances

Dataset for Masters By Research thesis "The effects of heat acclimation on physiological responses to sprint interval training at various pedal resistances "

The data consist of muscle oxygenation, heart rate, sweat rate, skin temperature, core temperature and power during an incremental time till exhaustion test, Wingate test, a 15 min time trial test and 6 x 15s sprints in hot conditions (38°C, 30% RH) before and after heat acclimation.

The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of a 3-week low-volume repeated sprint isothermal heat acclimation intervention on physiological and performance responses and determine whether 0.075 kg·kg-1 or 0.085 kg·kg-1 pedal resistance elicits greater adaptation in hot conditions. Fourteen physically active adults (male - 11; female - 3) were recruited via email and stratified into a 0.075 kg·kg-1 pedal resistance training group (age: 21 ± 2 yrs, height: 181 ± 7 cm, body mass: 78 ± 13 kg, VO2max: 50.0 ± 10.7 ml·kg·min-1) and a 0.085 kg·kg-1 pedal resistance training group (age: 21 ± 3 yrs, height: 179 ± 10 cm, body mass: 79 ± 12 kg, VO2max: 49.7 ± 12.6 ml·kg·min-1).
