Seasonal changes in metabolic and temperature responses to cold air in humans
The metabolic and temperature response to mild cold were investigated in summer and winter in a moderate oceanic climate. Subjects were 10 women and 10 men, aged 19–36 years and BMI 17–32 kg/m 2. Metabolic rate (MR) and body temperatures were measured continuously in a climate chamber with an ambien...

Zusammenfassung: | The metabolic and temperature response to mild cold were investigated in summer and winter in a moderate oceanic climate.
Subjects were 10 women and 10 men, aged 19–36 years and BMI 17–32 kg/m
2. Metabolic rate (MR) and body temperatures were measured continuously in a climate chamber with an ambient temperature of 22 °C for 1 h and subsequently 3 h of 15 °C.
The average metabolic response during cold exposure, measured as the increase in kJ/min over time, was significantly higher in winter (11.5%) compared to summer (7.0%,
