Table 4.

Total number of minutes spent within each temperature band across all participants and all four exercises.

Note: ≤25°C can cause minor performance impairments, <15°C is recognised as a threshold for non-freezing cold injury [6,15] and ≤10°C inducing the intermittent cold-induced vasodilation response (Imray, 2009), and increased risk of NFCI.
