This is the first book with a problem-based learning approachto focus solely on exercise in high temperatures, providing students and coaches with a clear and concise introduction to working with athletes in the heat. The book encourages students to engage with the science and apply it to practical, real-world scenarios.
Ensuring high levels of performance and safety in hot climates is a key consideration for sport scientists and coaches. Maximising Performance in Hot Environments is the first book with a project-based approach to focus solely on exercise in this common climactic condition, providing students and coaches with a clear and concise introduction to working with athletes in the heat. Rigorous in its physiological underpinnings, the book adopts a problem-based learning approach, encouraging students to engage with the science and apply it to practical, real-world scenarios.
Posing questions such as "how should athletes be monitored in high temperatures", "what are the ideal conditions for setting a world record in a 10,000m race", and "what special considerations should be made when working with masters athletes", the book covers all key topics, including:
The basics of human thermoregulation
The effect of high temperatures on performance
Heat acclimation and acclimatisation
Cooling
Hydration
Preventing heat-related illness and injury
Offering pedagogical features throughout to further enhance student learning, this is a truly innovative and unique resource. It is crucial reading for any student taking classes in environmental physiology, important applied reading for any exercise physiology students, and a vital companion for any sport scientist or coach working with athletes in high temperatures.
