Abstract
Endurability to the cold became an urgent problem in the South Polar Expedition, and many universities and institutes therefore took up collaborate investigations on this subject in order to establish the most pertinent method for estimation of human tolerance to the cold, consequently contributing to physiological appraisal of the above problem.Though a large number of experiments were conducted from both physiological and biochemical view points, it was first confirmed from the work alloted to us that variation of energy metabolism serves as a good methodology for this purpose.Furthermore, as skinfold thickness has an inverse proportional relationship to energy metabolism we have reached the abbreviate conclusion that higher skinfold thickness results in higher endurability to the cold.
