Temperature Training

Meaning

Temperature training refers to the deliberate, controlled exposure of the body to acute thermal stressors, both cold and heat, with the goal of stimulating specific physiological adaptations that enhance health, metabolic function, and thermal resilience. This intervention is used clinically to modulate the autonomic nervous system, improve mitochondrial biogenesis, and optimize hormonal responses, such as the release of norepinephrine and heat shock proteins. Implementing this training requires precise protocols to ensure the exposure is safe, effective, and tailored to the individual’s current physiological state. It is a powerful, non-pharmacological tool for enhancing biological capacity.
