Sport and physical activity can place a severe physiological demand on the human body. These demands are often made harder when the activity takes place in an extreme environment, such as competing in the heat of the Athens' Olympics or trekking across the ice sheets of the Antarctic. This module introduces you to the effects that different environmental conditions have on the physiological functions on the human body. It particularly focuses on the immediate and long-term responses to exercise in these extreme environments such as extreme heat, extreme cold, high altitude, the ocean depths and outer space.
