1 maj 2023 · Women tended to demonstrate lower absolute mean skin temperatures (∼1.6 °C lower) and regional skin temperatures compared to men, but temperatures were not associated with regional differences in skinfold thickness.
15 kwi 2020 · Female sex steroids have influences on thermoregulatory processes that could impact physical performance in the heat. Here, we summarize and evaluate the current literature regarding sex differences in thermoregulation and provide recommendations for heat-illness risk-mitigation strategies.
1 maj 2024 · The observational evidence for psychological effects of low body temperature is concentrated on the cognitive domain. During severe hypothermia, when environmental exposure or illnesses cause body core temperature to fall below 28 °C, individuals reach a state of unconsciousness (Paal et al., 2018). At moderate levels of hypothermia, when body ...
