Online resources: Summary: Basics of human thermoregulation -- How hot is hot? : measuring thermal stress and strain -- The effect of high ambient temperatures on exercise performance -- The effect of high ambient temperatures on cognitive function -- Heat acclimation and acclimatision -- Cooling -- (De)hydration -- Heat-related injury and illness.Summary: Ensuring high levels of performance and safety in hot climates is a key consideration for sport scientists and coaches. Maximising Performance in Hot Environments is the first book with a project-based approach to focus solely on exercise in this common climactic condition, providing students and coaches with a clear and concise introduction to working with athletes in the heat. Rigorous in its physiological underpinnings, the book adopts a problem-based learning approach, encouraging students to engage with the science and apply it to practical, real-world scenarios. Posing questions such as "how should athletes be monitored in high temperatures", "what are the ideal conditions for setting a world record in a 10,000m race", and "what special considerations should be made when working with masters athletes", the book covers all key topics, including: The basics of human thermoregulation The effect of high temperatures on performance Heat acclimation and acclimatisation Cooling Hydration Preventing heat-related illness and injury Offering pedagogical features throughout to further enhance student learning, this is a truly innovative and unique resource. It is crucial reading for any student taking classes in environmental physiology, important applied reading for any exercise physiology students, and a vital companion for any sport scientist or coach working with athletes in high temperaturesPPN: PPN: 1685651682Package identifier: Produktsigel: BSZ-4-NLEBK-KAUB | ZDB-4-NLEBK
