The book is designed to provide a flowing description of the physiology of heat stress, the illnesses associated with heat exposure, recommendations on optimising health and performance, and an examination of Olympic sports played in potentially hot environmental conditions.
Section I -The physiology of heat stress: 1. Basics of thermoregulation -Heat stress and strain -Heat exchange and its determinants (clothing) -Thermoregulation theory (set-point, null zone, thermoeffector coordination) 2. Cardiovascular function in the heat -Acute vascular response - skin, cerebral, muscle and splanchnic blood flow -Acute cardiac response - contractile properties and function, baroreflexes -Acute respiratory response - oxygen affinity and aerobic capacity 3. Central nervous system function in the heat -Central nervous system - Muscle activation, cerebral activity, cognitive function -Perception - perceived exertion, thermal comfort and sensation -Pharmacological intervention and neurotransmission 4. Skeletal muscle function in the heat -Peripheral nervous system - neuromuscular junction <-Substrate utilization -Muscle contractile properties Section II- Illnesses and countermeasures: 5. Exertional heat illness -Heat illness definition and continuum -Pathophysiology of heat illness -Epidemiology and risk factors -Treatment 6. Hydration -Physiology of dehydration -Dehydration assessment -Impact on performance -Recommendations 7. Cooling -Mechanisms of cooling - External and internal cooling methods, type of event -Pre-cooling -Mid-cooling -Post-exercise cooling -Recommendations 8. Heat acclimation -Physiological adaptations and mechanisms -Effects on performance and health -Time course of adaption and decay -Recommendations Section III- Application to sport: 9. Football/soccer, AFL and Rugby -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 10. American football -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 11. Tennis -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 12. Athletics - marathon -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 13. Motor sports -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 14. Cycling -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 15. Beach volleyball -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 16. Open water swimming < -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation 17. Triathlon -Influence of heat on performance and health -Countermeasures to optimizes performance and health -Heat policy and implementation
