Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology

Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, 2nd Edition, is a comprehensive textbook that examines how challenging physical settings alter human function during work, exercise, and athletic competition. Written for physiology students and exercise science professionals, the volume connects evidence-based findings with practical guidance for demanding operational and sporting environments.

Core subject areas include thermal strain involving heat, cold, and hydration; barometric pressure shifts during altitude exposure and diving; and ambient influences such as air pollution, spaceflight microgravity, and chronobiological rhythms.

To reinforce learning and inquiry, sidebars throughout the text present lively scientific debates, encouraging readers to evaluate ongoing controversies across contemporary environmental research.
