Heat stress impairs proprioception but not running mechanics by Mtibaa K.

“…Average error during the proprioception test increased after running in HOT (+11%, p < 0.05) but not in COOL (−2%). There was no significant difference for most segmental and joint angles at heel contact, except for a global increase in pelvis retroversion and decrease in ankle dorsi-flexion angles with time (p < 0.05). …”
