Excerpt

Life in general, but physiology in particular, is infinitely more interesting when one moves outside one’s comfort zone. This is particularly so when considering the cardiovascular system. Maintaining cardiovascular stability during periods outside the comfort zone (e.g. during exercise) is critical to both performance and health. When one adds multiple stresses together (e.g. exercise in a challenging environment), then our ability to regulate key cardiovascular variables is really put to the test and compromises may often have to be made. …
