Environmental Exercise Physiology

Environmental Exercise Physiology studies how our bodies respond and adapt to different environmental conditions during physical activity, such as extreme temperatures, altitude, and humidity. In sports physiology, it helps athletes understand how factors like heat, cold, or thin air affect their performance and recovery. By examining these interactions, researchers provide valuable insights for training, safety, and performance optimization, ensuring athletes can compete effectively, whether in blistering heat or at high elevations. This knowledge is crucial for enhancing endurance, strength, and overall athletic performance while minimizing the risks of environmental stress.
