Pandolf Department of Family, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences, Queens College of the City University of New York, Flushing, New York 11367; and United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, Massachusetts 01760 Received 12 August 1996; accepted in final form 7 January 1997. Lee, Dae T., Michael M. Toner, William D. McArdle, Ioannis S. Vrabas, and Kent B. Pandolf. Thermal and metabolic responses to cold-water immersion at knee, hip, and shoulder levels. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(5): 1523-1530, 1997. To examine the effect of cold-water immersion at different depths on thermal and metabolic responses, eight men (25 yr old, 16% body fat) attempted 12 tests: immersed to the knee (K), hip (H), and shoulder (Sh) in 15 and 25°C water during both rest (R) or leg cycling [35% peak oxygen uptake; (E)] for up to 135 min. At 15°C, rectal (T re ) and esophageal temperatures (T es ) between R and E were not different in Sh and H groups ( P  > 0.05), whereas both in K group were higher during E than R ( P   0.05) but it did increase in Sh group ( P  < 0.05). The increase in heat production during E compared with R was smaller ( P
