Our latest open water 🏊‍♀️ project with @EuroAquatics led by @KateMarkey12 "Divergent body temperature responses within swimmers competing in the same water temperatures" 🥵🥶 🔗tinyurl.com/5a76rczp @brynachrismas @chris_esh @margomountjoy @NaamaConstantini @NataliaGalan14
A new study has revealed health risks caused by core body temperature during open water comps. 🏊 In collab with @EuroAquatics, findings showed clinical hypothermia and mild hyperthermia can co-present in the same cohort. 📝@KateMarkey12 / @DrLeeTaylor lboro.ac.uk/media-centre/pre…

Delighted to have completed another data collection with @EuroAquatics at the final Leg of the 2024 Open Water Swimming Cup in Croatia 🏊‍♂️ This testing is part of a larger project characterizing swimmer’s core temperature responses in divergent water temperatures/environments.

Over 60 swimmers head to Razanac for the final race of the season 🙌 #SwimingOWC athletes can sign up at the event to have their core temperature measured, as European Aquatics and Loughborough University collect data to develop strategies for swimmer health and performance in open water competitions. 📩 Contact k.markey@lboro.ac.uk for more information.

🚨 Coaches, athletes & practitioners 🚨 I’m looking for a high-caliber brand of heated garments for an upcoming swimming-related project. If you have any experience using heated garments in sports; what brand(s) have you liked/disliked using? (And why?) Retweets appreciated 👍
