Performance in Extreme Environments 

Consultancy and applied services

We can offer a range of consultancy and applied services to meet your needs including:

  • Pre-acclimation solutions and advice for individuals wanting to compete in hot or cold environments, as well as those wanting to summit the highest mountains in the World
  • Expedition planning and guidance
  • Research Training specific to working in austere environments
  • Knowledge transfer partnerships and co-production
  • Systematic reviews and evidence assessments

We have supported several expeditions to the highest mountains in the World to enhance their chances of success, through physical and psychological preparation and training, as well as nutritional guidance. We also work very closely with Carnegie Great Outdoors who complement our services through their ability to organise and carryout expeditions worldwide.

We support athletes preparing to compete in extreme environments, whether that be the Marathon des-Sables, Antarctic Crossings or the Vendee Globe to mention a few examples.
