Summary

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
