Redaktion: Hosokawa, Yuri

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides fundamental concepts in human thermal physiology and their applications in general public, occupational, military, and athletics settings from the biometeorological perspective. The book includes a section on human physiology, epidemiology and special considerations in aforementioned populations, and behavioral and technological adjustments people may take to combat thermal environmental stress and safeguard their health.

• The book is the first of its kind to compile multiple disciplines - human physiology, climatology, and medicine - in one to provide fundamental concepts in human thermal physiology and their applications in general public, occupational, military, and athletics settings from the biometeorological perspective;
• Developed by experts, scientists, and physicians from exercise physiology, climatology, public health, sports medicine, and military medicine;
• Highlights special considerationsand applications of thermal physiology to general public, occupational, military, and athletics settings.
