The human interacts with environmental factors in complex ways. The aim of this text is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the environmental influences that impact on the individual when exercising or competing in sport.

The main environmental factors are considered in turn, the physiological reactions to discrete environmental stresses are described and methods of adaptation or coping are explained.

Each chapter is supported by an evidence base and the more important references are cited

In each chapter the physics and physiology of the environmental stress are described first.

The impact on the individual doing activity is then covered.

The issues of acclimatization will be addressed before recommendations are made to help practitioners cope.
