The Adaptation Strain Index (ASI) was applied for this purpose, and seasonal and spatial patterns of bioclimatic contrasts were considered. While travel within one or other of the countries does not prove particularly oppressive, it may sometimes lead to moderate adaptation strain. In contrast, international travel may prove especially stressful in summer and winter, to the extent that even very strong adaptation strain may be evoked. The results confirm the utility of the Adaptation Strain Index in measuring the bioclimatic contrasts between different locations.}, type={Text}, title={Biothermal contrasts while travelling in or between Poland and Bulgaria}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/58781/PDF/WA51_78628_r2015-t29_Europa-XXI-Milewski.pdf}, keywords={Adaptation Strain Index, ASI, bioclimate, Bulgaria, Poland, tourism}, }
