Why the study?

Does the temperature of water immersion affect the cold-induced vasodilatation response and thermal comfort in healthy young males?

Structured PICO

Does the temperature of water immersion affect the cold-induced vasodilatation response and thermal comfort in healthy young males?

Population

9 healthy young male subjects

Intervention

Immersion of the right hand in 35 °C water for 5 min, followed immediately by 30 min immersion in a bath maintained at 5, 8, 10, or 15 °C

Comparator

Comparison between the 4 different water temperatures (5, 8, 10, and 15 °C)

Outcome

Cold-induced vasodilatation (CIVD) response (incidence and temperature amplitude)surrogate

Immersion of the hand in 8 °C water elicits a cold-induced vasodilatation response of similar magnitude to 5 °C, but with significantly less thermal discomfort.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May guide 8°C selection in hand immersion protocols; leaves open clinical translation beyond healthy males.
