Description
Summary:1  United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, Massachusetts 01760; 2  Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory, Pensacola, Florida 32508; and 3  Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine, North York, Ontario, Canada M3M 3B9 The purpose of this study was to determine how chronic exertional fatigue and sleep deprivation coupled with negative energy balance affect thermoregulation during cold exposure. Eight men wearing only shorts and socks sat quietly during 4-h cold air exposure (10°C) immediately after (
