Acclimatization is the beneficial physiological adaptations that occur during repeated exposure to a hot environment. These physiological adaptations include: Increased sweating efficiency (earlier onset of sweating, greater sweat production, and reduced electrolyte loss in sweat).

What are examples of acclimation?

One of the best known examples of acclimatization in humans can be observed when travelling to high altitude locations – such as tall mountains. For instance, if an individual hikes to 3,000 meters above sea level and stays there for a period of 1-3 days, they become acclimatized to 3,000 meters.

How do you use acclimatization?

He was clearly suffering from inadequate acclimatization, couldn't catch his breath, and thus couldn't keep up. For some, but not all, of these thermally sensitive traits acclimatization leads to adaptive shifts in thermal optima and limits.
