Introduction[edit | edit source]
In an extreme cold environment, even though behavioural or psychological adaptations may act to maintain a sufficient amount of body heat, it is possible that core or peripheral skin temperature can be decreased to a point where metabolic and physiologic functions are no longer sufficient and damage to skin and other tissues may occur. [1]
Environmental cooling power is not only determined by the ambient wet bulb temperature, but is also influenced by the wind and wet clothing. The wind can produce heat loss through convection, while wet clothing increases heat loss through evaporation. Wate temperature and current, with water activities, can contribute to a cooling effect. Inhalation o fcold air can also have negative effects for asthmatic healthy athletes. [1]
