Riassunto:

Serious athletes sometimes have to train or compete in less-than-ideal conditions. After all, who wants to let the heat or cold weather derail their performance goals? But we shouldn't forget that some environmental conditions can impair your sporting performance - and, in certain circumstances, actually endanger the athlete. So what's the best way to cope with very hot (or very cold) weather, high pollution levels, long-distance travel, or training and competition at high-altitude, so you can maintain your training schedule or competition calendar? And what are the practical steps you can take to acclimatise to your external environment? Isabel and her colleagues deal with the most demanding environmental conditions athletes face - excessive heat, intense cold, atmospheric pollution, high altitude - analyses the very latest scientific findings, and spells out in plain English their significance for the serious athlete. Every page of this brand new 82-page report draws on the latest evidence-based thinking in sports science research - new findings that won't percolate through to the general sporting press for many, many months, if they make it at all... So now you can assess the latest sports training and conditioning thinking for yourself, and decide how to integrate it into your personal routines. Here's a quick sample of what you'll learn: How do you work out what's the optimal hydration level for you? Which sports drinks work best - and which ones can actually impair fluid absorption? Why is it as important to monitor fluid levels in cold level as it is in hot weather? What's the best way to quickly acclimatise to very hot weather? Does expensive 'technical clothing' really help boost performance in demanding climatic conditions? What practical steps can you take to avoid heat cramps? How well does altitude training really work - and can you simulate its effects without having to purchase expensive equipment - or moving to Denver, Colorado?
