Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, offers physiology students
and exercise science professionals a complete look at the major topics and debates in the …

Human evolution has occurred over millions ofyears. The migration to various parts of the
world, which have different and changing environmental conditions, has influenced the …

Despite equivocal findings about the benefit of altitude training, current theory dictates that
the best approach is to spend several weeks living at≥ 2500 m but training near sea level …

Studies performed over the past decade have yielded new information related to the
physiological and metabolic adjustments made in response to both shortand long-term high …

For training at altitude to be effective, it must provide some advantage above and beyond
similar training at sea level. This advantage could be provided by: 1) acclimatization to …

Leading authorities on high-altitude physiology contribute to this work, which is divided into
three sections: Man at Extreme Altitude; Sleep and Restoration at High Altitude; and …

Altitude training continues to be a key adjunctive aid for the training of competitive athletes
throughout the world. Over the past decade, evidence has accumulated from many groups of …

Exposure to altitude results in a reduction in partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood
and a reduction in oxygen content. In an attempt to maintain aerobic metabolism during …

Winter sports events routinely take place at low to moderate altitudes, and nearly all Winter
Olympic Games have had at least one venue at an altitude> 1000 m. The acute and chronic …

To prepare for extremes of heat, cold or low partial pressures of oxygen (O 2), humans can
undertake a period of acclimation or acclimatization to induce environment-specific …
