We examined the effects of acclimatization to normodotic hypoxia on aerobic performance and exercise thermoregulatory responses under normoxic, hypoxic, and hot conditions. Twelve men performed tests of maximal oxygen uptake (<(V)over dot>O-2max) in normoxic (NOR), hypoxic [HYP; 13.5% fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2)], and hot (HE; 35 degrees C, 50% relative humidity) conditions in a randomized manner before and after a 10-day continuous normodotic hypoxic exposure [FIO2 = 13.65 (0.35)%, inspired partial pressure of oxygen = 87 (3) mmHg]. The acclimatization protocol included daily exercise [60 min at 50% hypoxia-specific peak power output (Wpeak)]. All maximal tests were preceded by a steadystate exercise (30 min at 40% Wpeak) to assess the sweating response. Hematological data were assessed from venous blood samples obtained before and after acclimatization. <(V)over dot>O-2max increased by 10.7% (P = 0.002) and 7.9% (P = 0.03) from pre-acclimatization to post acclimatization in NOR and HE, respectively, whereas no differences were found in HYP [pre: 39.9 (3.8) vs. post: 39.4 (5.1) ml.kg(-1).min(-1), P = 1.0]. However, the increase in V. O2max did not translate into increased Wpeak in either NOR or HE. Maximal heart rate and ventilation remained unchanged following acclimatization. = o differences were noted in the sweating gain and thresholds independent of the acclimatization or environmental conditions. Hypoxic acclimatization markedly increased hemoglobin (P < 0.001), hematocrit (P = 0.001), and extracellular HSP72 (P = 0.01). These data suggest that 10 days of normodotic hypoxic acclimatization combined with moderate-intensity exercise training improves <(V)over dot>O-2max in NOR and HE, but does not seem to affect exercise performance or thermoregulatory responses in any of the tested environmental conditions. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The potential crossover effect of hypoxic acclimatization on performance in the heat remains unexplored. Here we show that 10-day continuous hypoxic acclimatization combined with moderate-intensity exercise training can increase maximal oxygen uptake in hot conditions.
