Notas: Sumario: In response to winter conditions or prolonged immersion in cold water, heat may be lost from the body more quickly than it is produced leading to hypothermia. Retention of the insulating properties of the clothing worn is of crucial importance in protecting against cold injury both on land and in water. Anthropometric characteristic and behavioural and physiological responses also influence the probability of survival under these conditions. Practical recommendations for behaviour that will enhance survival during prolonged exposure to cold on land or to inmersion in cold water are consideredRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 43, nº 10, October 2000 ; p. 1461-1479Materia / lugar / evento: Antropometría Atletismo Natación Frío Temperatura corporal Títulos secundários: Título: Ergonomics
