We tested the hypothesis that short- term exercise- heat acclimation (EHA) attenuates hyperthermiainduced hyperventilation in humans exercising in a hot environment. Twenty- one male subjects were divided into the two groups: control (C, n = 11) and EHA (n = 10). Subjects in C performed exercise- heat tests [ cycle exercise for similar to 75 min at 58% Vover dotO(2peak) (37 degrees C, 50% relative humidity)] before and after a 6- day interval with no training, while subjects in EHA performed the tests before and after exercise training in a hot environment (37 degrees C). The training entailed four 20- min bouts of exercise at 50% Vover dotO(2peak) separated by 10 min of rest daily for 6 days. In C, comparison of the variables recorded before and after the no- training period revealed no changes. In EHA, the training increased resting plasma volume, while it reduced esophageal temperature (T-es), heart rate at rest and during exercise, and arterial blood pressure and oxygen uptake (Vover dot(O2)) during exercise. The training lowered the T-es threshold for increasing forearm vascular conductance (FVC), while it increased the slope relating FVC to T-es and the peak FVC during exercise. It also lowered minute ventilation (Vover dot(E)) during exercise, but this effect disappeared after removing the influence of Vover dot(O2) on Vover dot(E). The training did not change the slope relating ventilatory variables to T-es. We conclude that short- term EHA lowers ventilation largely by reducing metabolism, but it does not affect the sensitivity of hyperthermia- induced hyperventilation during submaximal, moderate- intensity exercise in humans.
