Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to investigate the combined effect of downhill running and heat stress on muscle damage, as well as on heat strain and kidney stress during subsequent running in the heat. METHODS In a randomized cross-over study, ten non-heat-acclimated, physically active males completed downhill running in temperate (EIMD in Temp) and hot (EIMD in Hot) conditions followed by an exercise-heat stress (HS) test after 3-h seated rest. Blood and urine samples were collected immediately pre- and post-EIMD and HS, and 24 h post-EIMD (post-24 h). Core temperature and thermal sensation were measured to evaluate heat strain. Serum creatine kinase (CK), maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the quadriceps (MVC) and perceived muscle soreness were measured to evaluate muscle damage. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels were measured to indicate acute kidney stress. RESULTS CK, MVC and perceived soreness were not different between conditions at any timepoints. In the EIMD in Hot condition, urinary NGAL was significantly elevated from pre- to post-HS (pre-HS: 6.56 {1.53-12.24} ng/min, post-HS: 13.72 {7.67-21.46} ng/min, p = 0.034). Such elevation of NGAL or KIM-1 was not found in the EIMD in Temp condition. CONCLUSIONS As compared with downhill running in a temperate environment, downhill running in a hot environment does not appear to aggravate muscle damage. However, elevated NGAL levels following EIMD in a hot environment suggest such exercise may increase risk of mild acute kidney injury during subsequent endurance exercise in the heat.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our aim was to determine the effect of repeated sprint exercise in hypoxia on HIF-1 and HIF-1-regulated genes involved in glycolysis, mitochondrial turnover and oxygen transport. We also determined whether genes upregulated by exercise in hypoxia were dependent on the activation of HIF-1 in an in vitro model of exercise in hypoxia. METHODS Eight endurance athletes performed bouts of repeated sprint exercise in control and hypoxic conditions. Skeletal muscle was sampled pre, post and 3 h post-exercise. HIF-1α protein and HIF1A, PDK1, GLUT4, VEGFA, BNIP3, PINK1 and PGC1A mRNA were measured. C2C12 myotubes were exposed to hypoxia and muscle contraction following treatment with a HIF-1α inhibitor to determine whether hypoxia-sensitive gene expression was dependent on HIF-1α. RESULTS Sprint exercise in hypoxia increased HIF-1α protein expression immediately post-exercise [fold change (FC) = 3.5 ± 2.0]. Gene expression of PDK1 (FC = 2.1 ± 1.2), BNIP3 (FC = 2.4 ± 1.4) and VEGFA (FC = 2.7 ± 1.7) increased 3 h post-exercise in hypoxia but not control. PGC1A mRNA increased 3 h post-exercise in control (FC = 5.16) and hypoxia (FC = 5.7 ± 4.1) but there was no difference between the trials. Results from the in vitro experiment showed that hypoxia plus contraction also increased PDK1, BNIP3, and VEGFA gene expression. These responses were inhibited when HIF-1 protein activity was suppressed. CONCLUSION Repeated sprint exercise in hypoxia upregulates some genes involved in glycolytic metabolism, mitochondrial turnover, and oxygen transport. HIF-1α is necessary for the expression of these genes in skeletal muscle cells.

Abstract
Implementing permissive dehydration (DEH) during short-term heat acclimation (HA) may accelerate adaptations to the heat. However, HA with DEH may augment risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). This study investigated the effect of HA with permissive DEH on time-trial performance and markers of AKI. Fourteen moderately trained men (age and VO2max = 25 ± 0.5 yr and 51.6 ± 1.8 mL·kg−1·min−1) were randomly assigned to DEH or euhydration (EUH). Time-trial performance and VO2max were assessed in a temperate environment before and after 7 d of HA. Heat acclimation consisted of 90 min of cycling in an environmental chamber (40 °C, 35% RH). Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) were assessed pre- and post-exercise on day 1 and day 7 of HA. Following HA, VO2max did not change in either group (p = 0.099); however, time-trial performance significantly improved (3%, p < 0.01) with no difference between groups (p = 0.485). Compared to pre-exercise, NGAL was not significantly different following day 1 and 7 of HA (p = 0.113) with no difference between groups (p = 0.667). There was a significant increase in KIM-1 following day 1 and 7 of HA (p = 0.002) with no difference between groups (p = 0.307). Heat acclimation paired with permissive DEH does not amplify improvements in VO2max or time-trial performance in a temperate environment versus EUH and does not increase markers of AKI.
