Climate change and the #Tokyo2020 #Olympics with @ProfMikeTipton & @PTrascasaCastro

What are the effects of heat and humidity on sport performance? How can athletes adapt?

Will the Tokyo Olympics be the hottest on record?

Enjoyed filming in Cornwall with @ProfMikeTipton, @adeymayhew_ from @surflifesaving & @Sinstance for a @portsmouthuni doc about the @ExtEnvLab_UoP research that underpinned our @RNLI #FloatToLive campaign, plus a bonus @BBCBreakfast!

Collaborative & applied lifesaving research👌🏻

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

Great to see the 'Seaside Safety Song' featuring on kids TV. Such an important message

Many congratulations @ProfMikeTipton very well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award, a fantastic honour.

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

Honoured and delighted to receive a "Lifetime Achievement Award" from The Higgins & Langley Memorial Awards (Flood & Swiftwater rescue) in the USA on Sunday. Dedicated to my family, colleagues, and those who put themselves at risk to save others. From lab to lifesaving.

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

Another long weekend of collecting cognitive performance/fatigue/sleep data at the Suffolk Back Yard Ultra. Good job team @BenchetritSandy @juanibada @JoeCostelloPhD

#ultrarunning #sleepdeprivation

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

Great opportunity with @dstlmod deadline of 6th June

[Nicky Armstrong @nic_c_armstrong]

We are recruiting a senior physiologist! Lots of exciting projects coming up for you to get involved in.

Good work @H_Massey1979 & @ProfMikeTipton 👍

[Heather Massey @H_Massey1979]

Thank you @Swim_England for hosting @ProfMikeTipton and me this evening for our cold water swimming presentation 🏊🏊‍♂️
@ExtEnvLab_UoP @UoPSportScience

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

A fascinating listen from our own @ProfMikeTipton talking all things #survival and the physiology of extreme #cold

You can listen to the interview on BBC Sounds here:

Great to see @BenchetritSandy and @juanibada out in the field collecting data this weekend

[Sandy Benchetrit @BenchetritSandy]

A hard weekend of field research has come to an end. Thank you to my runners and congratulations on such an achievement! Thank you @HardmoorsUltras for supporting this @ExtEnvLab_UoP research

Excellent to see yet another of our PGR's getting ready to resume data collection. @Thomas_J_James putting himself through the passive heating process in preparation for participants next week

'Hit For Six' you can read the @BASIS_org report on the impact of climate change on cricket here:

Fantastic input from @ProfMikeTipton looking at the physiological responses and consequences of heat on performance in cricket.

How hot is too hot?

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

40 degrees in the lab today as we conduct a post heat-acclimation stress test #heatacclimation #thermalphysiology

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

Great to see the resumption of further research in our labs. MPhil student @juanibada beginning to conduct some pilot testing continuing our research on the effect of physiological stressors on cognitive performance

[Extreme Environments Lab UoP @ExtEnvLab_UoP]

Are you interested in the impact of a new heat acclimation programme on your exercise performance in hot, cool and low O2 conditions?

We are looking for physically-active males (aged 18-40) to volunteer both now and in the autumn. Contact [email protected] for info.

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

Very powerful to hear the float message helping to save lives. Well done @HMCoastguard well done @RNLI and well done @ExtEnvLab_UoP. Let's teach this in schools.
