Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology (2nd Edition) – eBook

Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, 2nd Edition, (ePub/PDF) offers physiology students and exercise science professionals a complete look at the major topics and debates in environmental physiology. In this updated second edition, Dr. Stephen Cheung is joined by the coauthor Dr. Phil Ainslie, who has extensive expertise in mountaineering and high-altitude physiology and has led numerous high-altitude research expeditions.

Among the issues explored in this textbook are the effects of heat, hydration, and cold in the thermal environment; diving, altitude training, and other pressure effects on the human system; and pollution and air quality’s influences on exercise. The textbook also explores the microgravity (space) environment and chronobiological rhythms. The 2nd 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:

• Individual variability in response to stressful environments
• How the body adapts to repeated exposure to an environment
• How various environments affect the ability to exercise and work
• Countermeasures that people can take to minimize the impact of environmental stressors
• The initial physiological responses upon exposure to an environment that a person is not adapted to

Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, 2E, contains twice the figures and illustrations from the previous edition to better visualize and explain 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.
