Abstract:It has been reported that acute hypoxia causes a reduction in core temperature in humans. It was hypothesized that this occurs due to both a decrease in metabolic rate and an increase in skin b lood flo w. Ho wever, other studies have found that core temperature decreases with changes in posture. The methods in prev ious studies finding hypo xia to decrease core temperature did not control for postural changes. Thus, further examination is warranted to examine the effect of hypo xia on core temperature while c… Show more
