<span> <i>H</i> </span> <i>omo sapiens</i> , industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis Open
For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens , a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have be…

Waves of Endurance: A Pilot Study of Beta Brain Wave Signatures Linked to Immune Adaptation in Transatlantic Rowers Open
These findings support the hypothesis that prolonged intense physical exertion may induce a pattern of intense cerebral cortical activation correlated with immune modulation. The increased fast beta activity positively correlated with enha…

Additional Health Benefits Observed following a Nature Walk Compared to a Green Urban Walk in Healthy Females Open
Chronic stress and obesity are major public health concerns and represent significant risk factors for a plethora of non-communicable diseases. Physical exercise represents a valuable health intervention in both cases, providing benefits f…

Human energetic stress associated with upregulation of spatial cognition Open
Objectives Evolutionary life history theory has a unique potential to shed light on human adaptive capabilities. Ultra‐endurance challenges are a valuable experimental model allowing the direct testing of phenotypic plasticity via physiolo…

Alternative Metabolic Strategies are Employed by Endurance Runners of Different Body Sizes; Implications for Human Evolution Open
Objective A suite of adaptations facilitating endurance running (ER) evolved within the hominin lineage. This may have improved our ability to reach scavenging sites before competitors, or to hunt prey over long distances. Running economy …

Fluctuating asymmetry, a marker of poor growth quality, is associated with adult male metabolic rate Open
Objectives Life history theory, a branch of evolutionary theory, predicts the existence of trade‐offs in energetic allocation between competing physiological functions. The core metabolic cost of self‐maintenance, measured by resting metab…

Time in Nature Associated with Decreased Fatigue in UK Truck Drivers Open
Heavy goods vehicle (HGV) driving is recognised as a highly hazardous occupation due to the long periods of sedentary behaviour, low levels of physical activity and unhealthy food options when working. These risk factors combine with shift…

Energetics as a driver of human morphological thermal adaptation; evidence from female ultra-endurance athletes Open
Functional benefits of the morphologies described by Bergmann's and Allen's rules in human males have recently been reported. However, the functional implications of ecogeographical patterning in females remain poorly understood. Here, we …

Nonfreezing Cold Injuries Among Long-Distance Polar Rowers Open
Introduction Nonfreezing cold injury (NFCI) is a peripheral cold injury that occurs when the extremities are exposed to cold temperatures, at or near the freezing point, for sustained periods of time (48–96 h at temperatures of usually aro…

Human athletic paleobiology; using sport as a model to investigate human evolutionary adaptation Open
The use of sport as a conceptual framework offers unprecedented opportunities to improve our understanding of what the body does, shedding new light on our evolutionary trajectory, our capacity for adaptation, and the underlying biological…

Tandem Androgenic and Psychological Shifts in Male Reproductive Effort Following a Manipulated “Win” or “Loss” in a Sporting Competition Open
Male-male competition is involved in inter- and intrasexual selection, with both endocrine and psychological factors presumably contributing to reproductive success in human males. We examined relationships among men's naturally occurring …

Short‐term resource allocation during extensive athletic competition Open
Objectives Following predictions from life history theory, we sought to identify acute trade‐offs between reproductive effort (as measured by psychological arousal) and somatic maintenance (via functional measures of innate immunity) durin…

Can Persistence Hunting Signal Male Quality? A Test Considering Digit Ratio in Endurance Athletes Open
Various theories have been posed to explain the fitness payoffs of hunting success among hunter-gatherers. 'Having' theories refer to the acquisition of resources, and include the direct provisioning hypothesis. In contrast, 'getting' theo…
