The book is designed to provide a flowing description of the
physiology of heat stress, the illnesses associated with heat
exposure, recommendations on optimising health and performance, and
an examination of Olympic sports played in potentially hot
environmental conditions. In the first section the book examines
how heat stress effects performance by outlining the basics of
thermoregulation and how these responses impact on cardiovascular,
central nervous system, and skeletal muscle function. It also
outlines the pathophysiology and treatment of exertional heat
illness, as well as the role of hydration status during exercise in
the heat. Thereafter, countermeasures (e.g. cooling and heat
acclimation) are covered and an explanation as to how they may aid
in decreasing the incidence of heat illness and minimise the
impairment in performance is provided. A novel and particular
feature of the book is its inclusion of sport-specific chapters in
which the influence of heat stress on performance and health is
described, as well as strategies and policies adopted by the
governing bodies in trying to offset the deleterious role of
thermal strain. Given the breadth and scope of the sections, the
book will be a reference guide for clinicians, practitioners,
coaches, athletes, researchers, and students.
