“Citius, altius, fortius” in the face of global warming: not as simple as it seems
In the context of global warming, the reduction in air density, directly driven by rising air temperature, has been identified to enhance athletic anaerobic performance. However, the effect of heat is likely exercise-, intensity- and time-dependent with different physiological mechanisms. It is therefore imperative to clarify some points to not disrupt the disseminated message in order to protect the general population from heat-related illnesses.
