Heat Really Does Feel Hotter After a Cold Season
American Physiological Society (APS)

Ever notice how going for a run on an 80-degree day feels scorching in the spring but comfortable at the end of August? New research shows that the reason for this is that we gradually lose our tolerance for heat during cold seasons, but it’s possible to regain it with a brief regimen of hot and humid workouts.

Viewing a Hot Virtual Environment Helps the Body Cool Off During Exercise
American Physiological Society (APS)

Simply watching virtual reality (VR) scenes of a warm environment during exercise may influence physiologic processes that control body temperature. Early findings suggest that viewing hot scenes increases sweating, helping the body cool down more efficiently during exercise. Researchers will present their findings at the 2025 American Physiology Summit in Baltimore. The Summit is the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS).
