We examined the effects of acclimatization to normobaric hypoxia on aerobic performance and exercise thermoregulatory responses under normoxic, hypoxic and hot conditions. Obtained data suggest that 10 days of normobaric hypoxic acclimatization combined with moderate-intensity exercise training improves V˙O2max in normoxia and heat, but does not seem to affect exercise performance or thermoregulatory responses in any of the tested environmental conditions.

We investigated whether this ergogenic potential can be transferred to thermoneutral normoxic or hypoxic exercise conditions. We show that heat acclimation did not affect maximal cardiac output or maximal aerobic power in thermoneutral normoxic or hypoxic conditions. Heat acclimation augmented the sweating response in thermoneutral normoxic conditions.
