Abstract

Editorial on the Research Topic Evidence to practice: Bridging the gap in environmental challenges (cold, heat, hypoxia) in sport and exercise: Acclimatization/acclimation, training, competitions, recovery, rehabilitation and therapeutic interventions Our research topicAiming to improve the translation of applied sport science findings to evidencebased practice in real-life sport performance environments, Frontiers has launched a series of "Evidence to Practice" Research Topics that bridge the gap, for instance, in injury prevention, sport nutrition or environmental challenges. Based on the scientific interest in this latter field [e.g., (1) for hypoxia], the present Research Topic is dedicated to the influence, benefits and limits of cold, heat and hypoxia (including acclimatization/acclimation) on exercise training and sports competitions, with their potential translation to rehabilitation, prevention and therapeutic protocols.
