Assuming a race of intense heat, training camp for heat countermeasures Japanese national team August 8 at 14:58

A Japanese camp that is expected to win medals at the Tokyo Olympics has opened a training camp that takes measures against the heat in preparation for a race in the heat.

The 2nd race for men is expected to win medals at next year's Tokyo Olympics. On the 8th, a Japanese camp held in Chitose City, Hokkaido, was released to the press.

Participating in the camp are members such as Yusuke Suzuki, who has a 50-kilogram Japanese record, and Toshikazu Yamanishi, who is currently ranked first in the world with a 20-kilometer boy.

The Japan Athletics Federation has been focusing on measures against heat since the Tokyo Games, which are expected to race in the heat, have been measuring various data during the training camp.

The Chitose City on the 8th was cloudy from morning, and the temperature at the site was over 9am, and the temperature was over 23 degrees. The body surface temperature was measured using thermography, and gauze was applied to the shoulders and thighs to measure the components of sweat.

The Japan Land Federation will continue to analyze these data and examine the effects and measures for the next year's Tokyo Games and the world championships that will be used for selection.

Suzuki said, “I just believe in the support of the staff, but I think it ’s important to know how much preparation is possible.”

And about the fact that the Olympic men ’s 50km race will be held on August 8, next year, just one year later, “I heard it for the first time, but I was n’t too conscious of the Tokyo Games. I want to do it. "
