METABOLIC ADAPTATION TO COLD.

Abstract

The results of a two-phase study on cold acclimatization in human subjects are reported. In the first phase, an investigation was undertaken to study the effects of norepinephrine infusion on the resting oxygen consumption, the skin heat flux and the blood pressure. In addition, the quantity of daily catecholamines excretion was also determined. In the second phase, an attempt was made to determine the maximal aerobic power of ama for a comparison with non-divers and established Korean athletes. In addition, their maximal aerobic power was also compared between the summer and the winter, since the duration of daily diving work considerably differs between the two seasons.
