Assessment of urban thermal stress by UTCI – experimental and modelling studies: an example from Poland

DIE ERDE: Journal of the Geographical Society of Berlin, 2014
The paper presents a new approach to the study of the spatial variability of heat stress in urban areas. The Universal Thermal Climate Index UTCI was applied for this purpose. The spatial variability of UTCI at the local scale was studied using examples

Associations Between Match‐Play Characteristics and Environmental Temperatures in 4 Professional Football Leagues

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the association between environmental temperature and match‐play characteristics (shooting, passing, dribbling and defending) in four professional football leagues. Twenty‐seven performance indicators (PI's) were collated from 1585 matches from the German Bundesliga 1 and 2, Spanish La Liga and Australian A‐League ...

Thermal bioclimate in Greece based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and insights into 2021 and 2023 heatwaves

Theoretical and Applied Climatology
AbstractThe research on the thermal bioclimate is increasingly valuable in the context of climate change. Human well-being is threatened not only from direct exposure to extreme thermal conditions and complications from underlying health issues but also from disruptions of health and social services.
