May limit exercise tolerance in cold settings; leaves open prospective trials on thermal interventions for cardiac patients.
Does body cooling affect oxygen transport and exercise capacity?
Body cooling impairs oxygen transport during exercise by increasing energy cost and reducing oxygen delivery through decreased cardiac function and persistent vasoconstriction.
David R. Pendergast (1988) studied this question.
