Wich is not neccecarely a bad thing. It means the body isnt dying of effort to produce sweat.
Keeping salt levels good, and drinking as much water as you are losing is key

Players will have to test in specialised endurance labs, who have rooms that recreate the heat, and they'll have you run on a treantmill. meanwhile they periodically monitor lactic acid buildup and the amount of sweat you lose, and the amount of salt in the sweat.

This gives a profile for each player, what he should do.



However, how retarded is it that players have to prepare as if they'll be running an Iron man, just because Quatar has a small penis population issue, with very big oilreserves
But that's assuming Qatar doesn't invent those massive UFO's with AC units hovering over the pitch, as proposed by the 2022 Qatar Science Committee.

Except that you can't constantly take fluids during the match. Even if you need them. I've done strenuous activity in both and I definitely prefer the humidity.
Thats why they need periodic breaks. And plenty of bottles at the sideline.


Did you ever experience true humidity and dry heat ?

I trained in Corfu greece in 45 degrees and no humidity and it was okayish (drank alot and sweating wtfh). I found it not as bad as here in Belgium, if were getting a thunderstorm in the evening, its 28 degrees, and 80+% humid.

Friend of mine, is a good example. He has been in both greece, egypt and brazil(during spring). He usually can handle heat very very well. Except when he was in brazil, he told me he never suffered so hard, because of the humidity, your body works hard to sweat.

Tbh its retarded to play in the desert cause fifa took bribes. Yeah, players can handle it, untill one isnt taking in enough salt and collapses

I can only accept it and what sucks that it's endlessly jumping from 25% to 85% through the year here

Black is beauty
Muslim is only true path
And the pirates are kicking your rob dogging ass
We absolutely dont like thieves.
The WC? One day Insha ALLAAH and I believe we will it before USA, Canada, Australia and England obviously
To be honest, for the past 2 decades, USA kept improving at each world cup they've been to.

The current team is pretty solid, even if they should have brought Donovan along

Yeah man I fought fires in Montana with 100F and 0 - 10% humidity at altitude. I also grew up in areas where summer humidity gets into the 80-90% range.

Hmm, you probably adapted to the humidity better cause grew up with it. But with the right salts and water levels, should be otherwise

A WC in Qatar is lunacy, that's not even the point. Calling the weather conditions in Brazil "excuses for being spanked" is the point. Players known for their work rate are struggling to jog, while others are hallucinating during the match.
And I still think that some fucker will fall the doping test. "A WC in Brazil, at home (or close to home). We have to do great." You just know it will happen :D
