Some studies suggest cold exposure can stimulate stress responses and acclimatization, while other studies highlight potential negative impacts like myocardial damage and impaired performance; heat stress can lead to positive mitochondrial adaptations but also reduces vigilance and endurance.
Cold exposure and heat stress are environmental conditions that can significantly impact human health and performance. Research has explored various physiological and psychological responses to these stressors, revealing both potential benefits and risks. This synthesis aims to present the key findings from multiple studies on the health benefits and adverse effects of cold exposure and heat stress.
Cold exposure and heat stress elicit a range of physiological and psychological responses. Cold exposure can induce beneficial stress protein synthesis and thermogenic adaptations but also poses risks to cardiovascular health and muscle protein metabolism. Heat stress can impair performance but also promotes beneficial mitochondrial adaptations in skeletal muscle. Both extreme temperatures can negatively impact mental health, highlighting the importance of adaptive measures to mitigate these effects.
