Autorenporträt

Olivier Girard is a professor at the University of Western Australia, researching the mechanisms and adaptations that influence health and performance during physical activity in adverse environmental conditions (heat and altitude). (https://www.oliviergirard.com/) Johannes Burtscher is a neurobiologist investigating oxygen availability and consumption in humans and animals, with a focus on mitochondrial physiology in the brain and in brain-aging. Martin Burtscher is a retired professor in sports science and sports medicine at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Grégoire Millet is a professor in exercise and environmental physiology at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
