Introduction Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) is a controlled exposure of the whole body to
cold to gain health benefits. In recent years, data on potential applications of WBC in …

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

Most snow games at the 2022 Winter Olympics will be held in Chongli, where the lowest
temperature is predicted to reach− 15° C or even lower, according to the historical …

Purpose Vasoactive ingredients in beetroot (BR) such as nitrate are known to induce
vasodilation in temperate conditions. This study investigated the effect of BR ingestion on …

The snow events of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games will be held in Chongli, Hebei Province,
China, where the outdoor temperature is predicted to be lower than that of recent Winter …

Purpose Cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) is a paradoxical rise in blood flow to the digits
that occur during prolonged cold exposure. CIVD is thought to occur through active …

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 …

Purpose Cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) is an oscillatory rise in blood flow to glabrous
skin that occurs in cold-exposed extremities. Dietary flavanols increase bioavailable nitric …

We tested the hypothesis that prolonged intermittent hand exposures to transient contrast
thermal stimuli would enhance the finger cold-induced vasodilatation (CIVD) response …

Study design Acute experimental study. Objectives Cold-induced vasodilation is a local
mechanism of protection against frostbite in non-injured persons. We assessed whether an …
