Description
Summary:This article presents an integrative review of the literature on blood pressure, sleep and physical exercise in humans linked to extreme environments, specifically Antarctica. The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific research available in the literature on the impact of extreme environments (antarctica) on blood pressure levels, sleep and physical exercise in humans. For data collection, a search was carried out in the LILACS and PUBMED databases. Articles published between 2000 and 2024 were analyzed, resulting in a sample of 9 studies selected for the review. The main results address various aspects of the effects of prolonged stay in Antarctica on the physical health of individuals. Sleep disturbances and high blood pressure at night were observed after a year in these extreme environments, suggesting persistent cardiovascular stress. In addition, thermoregulatory adaptations were found in response to physical exertion and the adverse environment, resulting in changes in the participants' ...
