Cold water immersion<br />

the formula: Ms = 0.92 · M / SA. Body heat storage (Ss) was calculated from ΔT b , body<br />

weight (BW) and the human body specific heat capacity (Cb) using the following formula: Ss<br />

= Cb · ΔT b · BW / SA. Heat loss from the skin to the water (Hs) was calculated as Hs = Ms – Ss.<br />

Tissue insulation (Itissue) was calculated as Itissue = (Tes – T sk ) / Hs.<br />

Subject’s thermal sensation, thermal comfort and subjective shivering intensity were assessed<br />

every 5 minutes.<br />

RESULTS<br />

Changes in Tes and sk T are shown in Fig. 1. T sk was significantly higher in UST condition<br />

than in NUST condition from 15 min to 60 min (p
