📢 New Publication Alert! Our latest study, published in the IJSPP, demonstrates that passive warm-up via 42°C HWI provides comparable performance benefits to active warm-up during a 12-minute cycling time trial. 🔗 doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2026-0… #SportsScience #CyclingPerformance

New Publication Alert 🚨🚨🚨 A 45-minute hot-water immersion at 40°C and 42°C increased countermovement jump performance and reactive strength index. However, only HWI at 42°C enhanced drop-jump height. Published at @IJSPPjournal 👉shorturl.at/LWjhW @waikato @LEEP_UIBK

Hot off the press 🔥 Our new publication on @EJAP_official 👉shorturl.at/WRKiQ Key considerations for passive heating prescription. If you work with passive heat therapy or heat stress/exposure, you may find this particularly relevant. @orssattolucas @GeoffMinett 🧵1

Incorporating the FITT principle into PH research may enhance methodological consistency and interpretation. By adopting a more structured approach, the field can better realize the full potential of PH as a scientifically grounded intervention, for health and performance. 🧵8

This will help avoid oversimplifications such as the binary notion that "passive heat therapy does, or does not, work." 🧵9/end. Thanks for your comments 😃

Even with matched prescriptions, the intensity reference method (speed vs. HR) matters — due to dynamic shifts between intensity dimensions. @PatrickRod_PhD @sportaerztin 📰 Editorial (@EJAP_official ): doi.org/10.1007/s00421-025-0… 📄 New study (@_JSAMS ): doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2025…
