Evaluation of Two Cold Thermoregulatory Models for Prediction of Core Temperature During Exercise in Cold Water
Abstract
COld thermoregulatory model(CTM) have primirily been developed to predict core temperature (t sub core) responses during sednetary immersion. Few studies have examined their efficacy to predict T(sub core) during exercise cold exposure. The purpose of this study was to compare observed T(sub core) responses during exercise in cold water with the predicted T(sub core) from a three-cylinder (3-CTM) and a six-cylinder (6-CTM) model, adjusted to include heat production from exercise. A matrix of two metabolic rates (0.44 and 0.88 m/s walking), two water temperatures (10 and 15 C), and two immersion depths (chest and waist) were used to elicit different rates of T(sub core) changes. Root mean square deviation (RMSD) and nonparametric.
