New Findings What is the topic of this review? This review presents an update and synthesis
of normal mechanisms of human cutaneous vasoconstriction in response to cold stress. It …

An initial response to whole-body or local exposure of the extremities to cold is a strong
vasoconstriction, leading to a rapid decrease in hand and foot temperature. This impairs …

In recent years, the usefulness of infrared thermography (IRT) as a valuable supplementary
imaging method in medical diagnostics, as well as for assessing the effects of the treatment …

Advanced Environmental Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, offers physiology students
and exercise science professionals a complete look at the major topics and debates in the …

Habituation is an adaptation seen in many organisms, defined by a reduction in the
response to repeated stimuli. Evolutionarily, habituation is thought to benefit the organism by …

Despite advances in outdoor clothing and medical management of frostbite, individuals still
experience catastrophic amputations. This is a particular risk for those in austere …

In some organisms and cells, oxygen availability influences oxygen consumption. In this
review, we examine this phenomenon of hypoxic hypometabolism (HH), discussing its …

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of independent cold and combined
cold and hypoxic exposures on operational-specific task performance including pistol …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? The aim was to examine the influence of
hypoxia on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular control in the cold. What advances does it …

We examined the interactive effects of mild hypothermia and hypoxia on finger vasoreactivity
to local cold stress. Eight male lowlanders performed, in a counterbalanced order, a …
