My partner and I are writing a paper on how environmental factors affect athletic performance. The sport that we are tackling, specifically, is soccer/football. In our paper, we are looking at the factors (mainly air pollution and levels of urbanization) that could affect a player's athletic performance.
If ever an "optimal environment" would be created such that their athletic performance is at their peak, would this actually be a disadvantage? If ever the athletes would be training in an "optimal environment" would their athletic performance decrease if ever they are taken out of that environment?
Mikha Vallejos, what is you work ?
r u journalist or scientist?

Ali hussien Amteghy - thank you, I hope to receive an answer to this question!
Mohamed Hassaan - I am currently a student and the paper I am writing is my research paper .
You can use "Sources of sport confidence" \you can find the article using Google search and see what is their score on the scale "Environmental comfort". If the score is high then discomfort will most probably decrease their confidence.
Anyway in both cases: 1. after they had comfortable environment you put them in discomfort conditions (they will be too sensitive to discomfort) and also 2. after discomfort you put them in too comfortable conditions - in both cases the performance will suffer.
Thank you for the answer, Zshivka! That does make sense. Thanks also for the article, I will make sure to read it.
