Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

Description

Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, 2nd Edition delivers a comprehensive exploration of how environmental stressors—such as heat, cold, altitude, and pollution—affect physiological function during physical activity. Updated with the latest scientific research, this essential text is designed for graduate-level students, researchers, athletic trainers, and clinical exercise physiologists seeking a deep understanding of human performance in extreme environments.

This edition emphasizes the body’s adaptive mechanisms, thermoregulation, hydration strategies, and performance implications under environmental stress. Whether you’re studying how athletes can train at altitude or how workers stay safe in extreme heat, this book equips you with the knowledge to develop safe and effective interventions across varied climates and settings.
