Cognitive Neuro-Electrical Activity During Preparation for Exercise Under Hyperthermia

Exercise in hot environments challenges more than physical performance—it also affects the brain’s ability to process information, make decisions, and regulate movement. This course explores the latest research on how hyperthermia alters cognitive and neuroelectrical activity, with a focus on…

What you will learn

  • Examine how hyperthermia influences cognitive processing, executive function, and movement preparation during exercise
  • Analyze the neural mechanisms by which elevated brain temperature impairs prefrontal cortical activity, inhibitory control, and exercise-related decision-making
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of cooling strategies and neurophysiological assessments for maintaining cognitive and motor performance in hot environments
