Rezensionen

"This detailed book outlines the unique aspects of engaging in sports and physical activity in the heat. ... This may be useful for providers treating athletes who normally compete in the heat. However, it is, perhaps, too detailed for typical providers, but would be an excellent resource for experts in this area." (Jordan W Edwards, Doody's Book Reviews, April 19, 2019)
