• Air pollution and cardiovascular risk in athletes and active people.

• The possibilities of modern sports medicine for prevention and intervention in adverse environmental conditions.

• Technologies and methods for monitoring and controlling the impact of the environment on the training process and competitive activity.

Written by leading scholars and practitioners in the field, the textbook includes up-to-date research data, real-life case studies, diagrams, and evidence-based recommendations. Its practical focus makes it an ideal reference for application in clinical and sports practice, regardless of whether it is amateur or professional sport.
