AB  - Nutrition  intervention  can  be  complex  when  athletes  train  and  compete  in  unique  environmental  conditions.  High  altitude  and  extreme  temperatures  induce  substantial  changes  in  performance  capacity  and  alter  the  usual  response  to  exercise,  which  influences  nutrition  recommendations.  The  fuel  for  exercise  in  harsh  environmental  conditions  is  influenced  by  an  athlete’s  fitness,  tolerance  to  fluid  and  food,  and  the  unique  demands  of  the  sport.  The  effects  of  high  altitude,  cold  and  heat  are  usually  better  tolerated  in  short-duration  events  than  in  prolonged  endurance  events.  This  chapter  reviews  the  evidence  that  informs  nutrition  recommendations  for  athletes  who  are  training  and  competing  at  altitude  and  at  extreme  environmental  temperatures.
