Methods Eleven physically active male participants performed four incremental exercise tests, two RAMP (30 W·min−1) and two STEP (40 W·3 min−1), both in 18 °C (TEMP) and 36 °C (HOT) with 40% relative humidity to determine 2 RT and 16 LT, respectively. Distinction was made within LT, taking into account the individual lactate kinetics (LTIND) and fixed value lactate concentrations (LTFIX). Results A decrease in mean power output (PO) was observed in HOT at LT (−6.2 ± 1.9%), more specific LTIND (−5.4 ± 1.4%) and LTFIX (−7.5 ± 2.4%), compared to TEMP, however not at RT (−1.0 ± 2.7%). The individual PO difference in HOT compared to TEMP over all threshold methods ranged from −53 W to +26 W. Mean heart rate (HR) did not differ in LT, while it was increased at RT in HOT (+10 ± 8 bpm). Conclusion This study showed that exercise thresholds were affected when ambient air temperature was increased. However, a considerable degree of variability in the sensitivity of the different threshold concepts to acute heat exposure was found and a large individual variation was noticed. Test design and procedures should be taken into account when interpreting exercise test outcomes.Lire moins >
