In this Highlighted Topic we present five reviews that explore the molecular mechanisms mediating adaptive and maladaptive responses to exercise and environmental heat stress. Energetic stress, including changes in metabolic status, production of reactive oxygen species and increased temperature can all present significant challenges to cellular homeostasis that evoke cytoprotective mechanisms. Transcriptional changes form the basis of many adaptations with recent evidence suggesting epigenetics improves tolerance to a multitude of dissimilar stressors.
