Zusammenfassung:ObjectivesTo investigate the physiological and perceptual responses to wearing a dryrobe for rewarming after passive cold-water immersion (CWI).Methods15 unhabituated healthy Caucasian men (age: 28.9 (5.4) years) attended the laboratory on three occasions and performed passive CWI (14°C) for 30 min followed by 15 min of rewarming wearing either a dryrobe, towel or foil blanket while positioned in front of fans replicating a 10 mph wind. Physiological (deep body temperature, skin temperature and heart rate) and perceptual (thermal sensation and thermal comfort) variables were measured.ResultsAt 15 min post-immersion, deep body temperature was higher in the dryrobe condition (mean: 37.09 (SD: 0.49)°C) compared with the foil blanket (36.98 (0.64)°C) and towel (36.99 (0.49)°C) (p
