Dome Fever

A temporary cognitive impairment affecting athletes competing in tent-like enclosed sports structures used during winter. Most common in late autumn and early spring, it is characterized by impulsive decision-making, erratic behavior, and reduced situational awareness, similar to high-altitude psychosis. While generally mild and non-threatening, Dome-Fever has been linked to performance declines, strategic errors, and an increased risk of injury. In rare cases, it may result in brief periods of enhanced performance.
