Abstract

The positive effects of high heat on athletes can be seen dramatically. Athletes who are located in hot environments experience several changes on their bodies that can help improve the performance and physical recovery of the athletes. One of the positive effects of high heat on athletes is to increase blood circulation. In warm environments, the vessels of the body open and the blood flows in the best possible way in the body. This means an increase in the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which can improve athletic performance. Also, heat can increase sweating in the body. By sweating profusely, athletes can remove toxins and waste from their bodies and improve the body's cleansing process. This can lead to increased exercise tolerance and reduced fatigue. Also, the positive effects of high heat on athletes include increased flexibility. In hot environments, body muscles become warmer and more moist, which increases flexibility and reduces the risk of muscle injuries.

In this research, we can examine the effect of high heat on physiological components such as body temperature, heart rate, perspiration rate and oxygen consumption.
