In this podcast episode, performance expert Chris dives into how tracking core body temperature can enhance athletic performance. He explains that monitoring core temperature offers real-time insights into an athlete's physiological condition, providing vital information about training intensity, recovery, and race strategies—much more reliable than skin temperature. Chris underscores the significance of heat training for improving the body’s ability to regulate temperature and discusses how combining core temperature data with other metrics, like heart rate variability, creates a comprehensive picture of performance and fatigue management. The conversation also explores the impact of material science on thermal regulation and highlights the necessity for coaches to understand both the physical and mental aspects of their athletes.
