Send us Fan MailIn episode #164 we discussed some important science around heat and performance with Dr. Melani Kelly:The differences between heat exhaustion, heat injury, and heat stroke, and the role hydration and nutrition play in preventing them.How certain medications can increase the risk of exertional heat illness, and how they can alter our physiological responsesPractical advice and strategies for athletes on preparing for and managing heat exposure during training and competition.Melani Kelly is an Assistant Professor at Utah Valley University, where she teaches and mentors students in the Department of Exercise Science and Outdoor Recreation. She holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Kansas, a MS in Sport and Exercise Sciences from West Texas A&M, and a BS in Athletic Training from Eastern Washington University. Dr. Kelly’s current research focuses on identifying exertional heat illness (EHI) risk factors and assessing kidney damage in 100-mile ultramarathon runners. Her work has highlighted various risk factors, including how mental health medications may increase EHI risk, and individualized gastrointestinal responses to limit damage and perceived symptoms experienced with physical activityPlease note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Dr. Melani Kelly: Google Scholar: scholar.google.com/citations?user=vBhJYmsAAAAJ&hl=enSelf Reported Exertional Heat Illness and Risk Factors among Collegiate Marching Band ArtistsCore Body Temperature in Collegiate Marching Band Artists During Rehearsals and PerformancesCollegiate Marching Band Artists Experience High Core Body Temperature during Rehearsals and PerformancesMentioned:Drugs.com: https://www.drugs.com/PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/NIH Stat Pearls: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430685/MORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → [email protected] in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?
