  • Title: Factors which affect shivering in man during cold water immersion.
    Author: Martin S, Cooper KE.
    Journal: Pflugers Arch; 1981 Jul; 391(1):81-3. PubMed ID: 7279605.
    Abstract:
    Six subjects were immersed in cold water (15.15 +/- 0.42 degrees C) and were asked to perform two tasks. Shivering elicited by the cold water immersion was attenuated and/or abolished by the mental arithmetic task and in some instances by a voluntary isometric contraction of forearm muscles. Some reasons for these results are discussed. Key words: Cold water immersion, mental arithmetic forearm isometric contraction, attenuation of shivering.
