Answer :

Answer: To enable the body to adapt gradually to new environmental stresses

Explanation:

Acclimatization allows the body to gradually adjust to new environmental stresses, such as changes in temperature, altitude, humidity, or other factors.

  • Enhanced Performance

Acclimatization enhances physical performance by allowing the body to better manage energy use, oxygen consumption, and temperature regulation.

  • Reduced Health Risks

Gradual adaptation minimizes the risk of heat-related illnesses, altitude sickness, and other stress-related health issues by allowing the body to cope more effectively with the new environment.
