Hot Yoga May Provide Heat Stress
热瑜伽带来的好处，能带到其他活动中吗？
Do benefits transfer to other activities?
如果你正在为你的运动客户寻找一种好的交叉训练方法，可以建议他们练习热瑜伽，它可以提高有氧运动能力，同时减少运动压力。
If you’re looking for a good cross-training technique for your more athletic clients, suggest they practice hot yoga, which may boost aerobic performance while minimizing exercise stress.
温哥华英属哥伦比亚大学的研究人员招募了10名优秀的女子曲棍球运动员进行观察。所有运动员连续6天参加60分钟的热瑜伽课程（30摄氏度/86华氏度），在此期间不进行任何其他锻炼。在干预之后，运动员们在一个国家队的训练基地比赛。
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, researchers recruited 10 elite female field hockey players for observation. All athletes participated in 60-minute hot-yoga classes (30 degrees Celsius/86 degrees Fahrenheit) over 6 consecutive days, during which they did not engage in any other exercise. Following the intervention, the athletes played in a national-team camp.
研究人员收集了与心血管功能，体内温度和血浆容量变化有关的数据。数据分析表明，热瑜伽练习时的热负荷和心血管压力最小，同时促进运动员最大的心血管能力。
Researchers collected data related to cardiovascular performance, internal temperature and changes in blood plasma volume. Data analysis showed that hot-yoga practice involved minimal thermal load and nominal cardiovascular strain, while promoting maximal cardiovascular performance for the athletes.
来自哥伦比亚大学医学院的首席研究员，Andrew S. Perrotta说，“基于我的研究结果来看——提高有氧跑速，无氧阈，高强度跑下的能量利用能力——我个人认为热瑜伽可以为冷或热的环境下进行的铁人三项比赛或跑步比赛带来益处。”
Lead investigator Andrew S. Perrotta, PhD, of the UBC faculty of medicine, said, “Based on the results of my study—improved running speed at aerobic and anaerobic threshold and improved fuel utilization at high-intensity running—I think hot yoga may provide an advantage prior to entering a triathlon or running event in cool or hot environments.”
“你练瑜伽的环境（有多热）可能决定你能获得多少益处。我们利用一个温和的环境，通过远红外加热提供舒适和愉快的体验。更激进的热瑜伽形式会产生更大的热应激，这是因为它们是在40摄氏度（104华氏度）的环境下进行的。那些要在极端环境中比赛的人可能想要寻找这种瑜伽工作室进行训练。”
“How hot the environment [is where] you’re performing yoga may determine the degree of benefits you receive. We used a mild environment, as provided through far-infrared heating, to give a comfortable and enjoyable experience. More aggressive forms of hot yoga implement greater heat stress, as they’re performed in an ambient environment of 40 C [104 F]. Those wishing to compete in extreme environments may want to look for those yoga studios.”
