This course provides an overview over molecular and systemic aspects of neuromuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory adaptations to acute and chronic exercise as well as the interactions of the different systems influencing factors, e.g. genetics, gender, age, altitude/depth, heat/cold, with respect to performance and health.

This lecture deals with fundamentals of human thermoregulation and treats different topics as the heat transfer of the body, hyper- and hypothermia, acclimatisation as well as thermal comfort and clothing thermal physiology.

This course provides expert knowledge on thermal interactions between the human body and its environment. It covers thermoregulation, heat and mass transfer in sports clothing and indoor/outdoor settings, and evaluates their impact on health and performance. Numerical and physical models of the human body will be used to assess thermal comfort and heat stress.
