Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

Heat-suit endurance training

Participants (elite cyclists) will conduct five 50-minute low-intensity cycling sessions with heat suit per week for five weeks. These sessions will complement their habitual training routines, which will consist of endurance training with intensities at or below lactate threshold. Participants will ingest 100 mg Fe2+ on a daily basis to support de novo synthesis of hemoglobin

BEHAVIORAL

Non-heat-suit endurance training

Participants (elite cyclists) will conduct low-intensity cycling without heat suit for five weeks (volume- and intensity-matched to the heat-suit arm). Participants will ingest 100 mg Fe2+ on a daily basis to support de novo synthesis of hemoglobin
