• Moving in extreme environments: what’s extreme and who decides? | Extreme Physiology & Medicine

  Humans work, rest and play in immensely varied extreme environments. The term ‘extreme’ typically refers to insufficiency or excess of one or more stressors, such as thermal energy or gravity. Individ...

• Moving in extreme environments: extreme loading; carriage versus distance | Extreme Physiology

  This review addresses human capacity for movement in the context of extreme loading and with it the combined effects of metabolic, biomechanical and gravitational stress on the human body. This topic ...

• The physiological effects of hypobaric hypoxia versus normobaric hypoxia: a systematic review of

  Much hypoxia research has been carried out at high altitude in a hypobaric hypoxia (HH) environment. Many research teams seek to replicate high-altitude conditions at lower altitudes in either hypobar...

• Psychological factors in exceptional, extreme and torturous environments | Extreme Physiology

  Our cognitive system has adapted to support goal-directed behaviour within a normal environment. An abnormal environment is one to which we are not optimally adapted but can accommodate through the de...
