Taylor (Eds.), © BIOMED, Ljubljana 2007 RESULTS During the 12 day manoeuvre, ambient temperature varied between -20-2°C. Body mass and the amount of subcutaneous fat declined significantly during the manoeuvre being 70.8 ±9.7 kg and 70.3 ±9.4 kg and 13.4 ±2.5% and 12.8 ±2.6% on T2 and T3, respectively. Table 1 shows that SJ increased (p
