THE EFFECT OF A YEAR IN THE ANTARCTIC ON HUMAN THERMAL AND METABOLIC RESPONSES TO AN ACUTE STANDARDIZED COLD STRESS
The metabolic rate and thermal responses of eight healthy subjects exposed nude for 2 hours to a standard cold stress (17 + or - 1.0 C air temperature) were examined in the fall, winter, and spring at Little America V in the ntarctic. Mean body, average skin and foot temperatures increased significa...
