Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, offers
physiology students and exercise science professionals a complete
look at the major topics and debates in the field of environmental
physiology. In this second edition, Dr. Stephen Cheung is joined by
the coauthor Dr. Phil Ainslie, who has extensive professional
expertise in mountaineering and high-altitude physiology and has
led numerous high-altitude research expeditions. 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.
The second edition includes new chapters on heat adaptation and
therapy, breath-hold diving, physiological adjustments to acute
hypoxia, sex differences in environmental response, and
cross-adaptation. Through Advanced Environmental Exercise
Physiology, Second Edition, readers 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 Countermeasures that people can take to
minimize the impact of environmental stressors Advanced
Environmental Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, contains twice
the number of figures and illustrations from the previous edition
to offer better visualization and explanation of the content. New
learning aids include chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and
review questions to enhance reader comprehension. Sidebars
throughout the text highlight lively areas of current research and
debate to stimulate further investigation. Supported by
evidence-based information and numerous references, Advanced
Environmental Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, addresses the
primary environmental factors affecting people when they are
working, exercising, and competing in sport. By linking research
with recommendations for real-world situations, this text serves as
an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike.
