TL;DR: Outdoor mountain hiking can be recommended by health professionals as a form of PA with the potential to positively influence affective responses and showed significantly greater positive effects on affective valence, activation, and fatigue compared to indoor treadmill walking.

TL;DR: A single outdoor exercise bout showed greater affective improvements compared to indoor and sedentary equivalents for self-reported excitement and activation, suggesting an outdoor setting might be useful in overcoming listlessness during depression treatment.

TL;DR: This critical review aims to summarize studies that identified predictors of doping intentions, susceptibility, and behaviour in elite athletes and to analyse in how far previous research included aspects beyond athlete-centred approaches, such as context and sporting culture.

TL;DR: It was found that the death risk varies considerably between different summer mountain sports, and Traumatic deaths were more common in activities primarily performed by young adults, whereas the number of deaths resulting from cardiovascular diseases was higher in activities preferred by the elderly such as hiking and trekking.

TL;DR: The present work primarily focusses on the period of altitude sojourn prior to the competition at altitude based on physiological and psychological aspects complemented by nutritional and sports practical considerations.
