How a heatwave can affect your brain and mood ( www.npr.org )
Dresser says the evidence suggests that heat can influence us in sometimes indiscernible ways. “All of these [studies] seem to point to a reduced ability to think clearly and quickly and efficiently when the body is too hot,” he says....

An interesting study regarding the decline of cardiovascular capacity when minimizing activity level to the least amount possible. ( www.ahajournals.org )
For the initial evaluations in 1966, 5 healthy 20-year-old male volunteers were assessed at baseline, spent 3 weeks at complete bed rest with no weight bearing allowed (similar to clinical treatment of acute myocardial infarction at the time), and then underwent 8 weeks of intensive endurance training. Cardiopulmonary function...
