Mostly I was googling to see why spraying water on me was bad. I didn't find anything about that in the stuff about "HS1" or "heat stress protein." Nor did I find out that there is any magic for HS1 other than it plays a big part in help us adapt to the stresses of working and exercising in the higher temps.
Admittedly I've gotten slack in my reading of medical and scientific stuff that gets really technical in terms used so If it's buried in those articles, you'll have to spell it out for me!
I've somewhat gotten to the point where a mind is a terrible thing.... wait... or is it supposed to be a mind is a terrible thing to waste! <grin>
Yeah, things have changed a bit since last I messed with this. Here are a couple of somewhat contradictory studies:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6843002/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2963322/
and better google results from "heat shock protein training studies".
My comment about the hose was simply that one is out there to get a specific effect, so why try to diminish said sought-after effect.
Unfortunately for my PNW event next week, the weather is going to turn hot just when I'm at the tail end of my taper, and it's been a unusually cool spring and summer. I'm going to suffer. Snow level in the mountains is still below 5000' in many places. Sucks.
