Comments on: MALAWI FLAMES TO ACCLIMATIZE http://malawi.worldcupblog.org/team-news/malawi-flames-to-acclimatize.html World Cup 2010 - South Africa Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:26:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Scouser http://malawi.worldcupblog.org/team-news/malawi-flames-to-acclimatize.html/comment-page-1#comment-163 Scouser Wed, 04 Mar 2009 20:31:44 +0000 http://malawi.worldcupblog.org/team-news/malawi-flames-to-acclimatize.html#comment-163 Ryan, if Malawi didn't have a hot area they would go to Ivory Coast a week before the game to acclimatize. If they have funds to camp in Salima for almost a month Am sure they would have funds to camp in Ivory Coast for a week. Since they would go there earlier than required, they would make their own arrangements. Earlier last year FIFA decided that teams should make own arrangements whenever they play away following complaints of maltreatment of visiting teams when they played away in some countries. http://www.gov.bw/cgi-bin/news.cgi?d=20080519&i=Countries_fend_for_themselves The only problem I see is that it would be hard to find a training pitch earlier than 3 days before the game. The hosts try to demoralize away teams in any way possible. Please note that training in a Hot Area is not the only solution. Sometimes normal training also helps: Regularly raising your core temperature by hitting an intensity over 50 percent of your Vo2 max with strenuous interval training or continuous exercise will invoke heat acclimatization responses, but eight to 12 weeks are needed to really do the job.
