Students entering advanced study of environmental physiology may
have little experience in researching environmental physiology or
may not realize the depth and breadth of the field. "Advanced
Environmental Exercise Physiology "offers the first complete look
at the scope and major ideas of environmental exercise physiology.
It provides students with a solid grounding in prominent research
topics and a thorough understanding of the key concepts and current
debates in the field. Using an integrative approach, " Advanced
Environmental Exercise Physiology," the first book in Human
Kinetics' Advanced Exercise Physiology series, considers the human
capacity to exercise in and tolerate various environments. Readers
will examine the major impact of each environment explored, and
they will discover areas of current debate to stimulate further
research. The text also helps students directly link the research
to athletic and occupational situations in various environments.
Through "Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, " students
will learn the following: - The initial physiological responses
upon exposure to an environment that a person is not adapted to -
How the body adapts to repeated exposure to an environment - How
various environments affect the ability to exercise and work -
Individual variability in response to stressful environments
Readers will also gain a firm knowledge of the application of basic
exercise physiology to specific environmental stressors by looking
at the countermeasures that people can take to minimize the impact
of environmental stressors. Among the issues explored in this text
are the effects of heat, hydration, and cold in the thermal
environment; diving, altitude training, and other pressure effects
on the human system; and the influences that pollution and air
quality have on exercise. The text also explores the microgravity
(space) environment and chronobiological rhythms and their effects
on exercise performance. "Advanced Environmental Exercise
Physiology" addresses the primary environmental factors affecting
people when they are exercising and competing in sport, and it
provides evidence-based information with numerous references. By
linking research with recommendations for real-world situations,
this text serves as an invaluable resource for students and
professionals alike. Human Kinetics' Advanced Exercise Physiology
series offers books for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students as well as professionals in exercise science and
kinesiology. These books highlight the complex interaction of the
various systems both at rest and during exercise. Each text in this
series offers a clear and concise explanation of the system and
details how each is affected by acute exercise and chronic exercise
training.
