Leeds look good

[deluded pom?]

Don't even bother with him his comprehension is terrible, it doesn't matter how you put it he won't understand that what you are saying is that people from different climates find different temperatures bearable and unbearable.

I'm the perfect example I can take the 35c-40c heat and I'm less susceptible to the cold because of where I live in Canberra and I'm quite happy in 5c, but I find even the littlest amount of humidity unbearable. That doesn't mean that I am weak or anything like that, it just means that I live in a relatively dry environment and I'm not use to humidity and that is nothing to be ashamed of.

Tart ;-)

[roughyedspud]

For the record, (and I never thought I'd find myself explaining this to an Aussie), normal core temperature is 37, with signs of hyperthermia, heat stress and illness occurring at 40-41. In fact, most cannot exercise beyond core temps of 40. Given that the main by product of muscle contraction is heat, this explains why exercise in temps over 37 is not advised. In my professional opinion, 'increasing intensity' of sessions in extreme heat bears no benefit and is, in fact quite dangerous

It's really not that dangerous if you look after yourself and drink lots of water, though in saying that I personally avoid heavy exercise if it is very hot. I also would not suggest it to people who are not use to the heat, once had a friend of mine from Japan almost kill himself while walking around a lake in the middle of summer.

The increasing intensity in training sessions in the heat isn't really meant to do anything physical, it's just a show of mental and physical toughness and is used to make players more mentally tough.

If you are use to the heat and have lived all your life in it, it really is just another day at the office.

Medical research Scientist mate, formally (though it would appear quite dangerous to admit this in current times) Exercise Physiologist/Sports Scientist. I did my PhD in the effects of exercise in extreme heat. Quite qualified, therefore, to proclaim there is an awful lot of BS being mentioned in this thread :lol:

 

[roughyedspud]

the QRL,NSWRL & NRL all have extreme heat guidelines......that alone would suggest that its not "perfectly fine to play or train" in ridiculous heat......but i guess they are wrong.

:lol:

The French legion use the same process to make there soldiers mentally tough in the deserts of North Africa, get them in a hot and dry climate and make them exert themselves to the point of exhaustion, the only differences are that they limit the amount food and water there soldiers can have and that they are doing combat training not sports training.

The results are the same though, it heightens pain tolerance and determination and if you make it through the whole session you get bragging rights over the ones that didn't make it though the whole session (which is a common occurrence).

As many other Australians that have played any type sport can tell you, I know from experience that it is tough and can be dangerous, but it definitely is not BS.

Plus I am certain that if I looked I could find similar practices in Britain without the heat of course for making players, soldiers and people in general stronger mentally.

given we have'nt beaten australia twice in 3 games for 40+ years id suggest you won't find any courses for making our players mentally stronger :lol:

I guess we Aussies are just tough then. Done quite regularly here.

The Great Dane making sense again. Thanks for the common sense.

Who knows, but it probably had references to Kangaroos and blamed the AFL when anything went wrong....



Still, he would of heard about the theory of Evolution eh Roughy? :lol:

Still gutted I can't get the replay of our Cas loss. We looked really strong vs Hull FC and dropped a game that we should have won early in the season.
