Professor Bengt Saltin Symposium – Environmental challenges to human performance
This short review is from a presentation made at the Bengt Saltin Symposium, October 15–17, at the 2015 Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology conference, Hamilton, Canada. The review provides context of the important work of the late Dr. Saltin’s contributions to environmental physiology. In addi...

This short review is from a presentation made at the Bengt Saltin Symposium, October 15–17, at the 2015 Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology conference, Hamilton, Canada. The review provides context of the important work of the late Dr. Saltin’s contributions to environmental physiology. In addition to well-controlled laboratory experiments to better understand the influence of hypoxia or temperature, or both, Dr. Saltin also led several field expeditions to the North Greenland, Kenya, Himalayas, and the Andes, where he studied several aspects of human adaptation to environment.
