Acute Health Effects of Low Temperature Exposure
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Low temperature (16#) group: The exposure group will be exposed to low temperature (16#) in a chamber for about 2 hours, resting during the whole periods.
Moderate temperature (22#) group: The exposure group will be exposed to thermoneutral temperature (22#) in a chamber for about 2 hours, resting during the whole periods.
Study summary
This is a randomized controlled human exposure crossover study. Investigators aims to assess the acute effects of low temperature exposure and the underlying mechanisms.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Heart Rate Variability Parameters — Volunteers will be asked to wear electrographic Holter monitors for 24 hours from 1:00 P.M. at the day of intervention to 1:00 P.M. at the next day.
Investigators plan to measure heart rate variability (HRV) parameters (e.g., SDNN, PNN50, LF, HF) - Blood Pressure — Blood pressure will be examined before exposure and immediately after the exposure session
The changes of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) will be measured. - Forced vital capacity — Lung function will be examined before exposure and half an hour after the exposure session
Investigators plan to measure forced vital capacity (FVC) by spirometry - Forced expiratory volume in one second — Lung function will be examined before exposure and half an hour after the exposure session
Investigators plan to measure forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) by spirometry. - Maximal mid-expiratory flow — Lung function will be examined before exposure and half an hour after the exposure session
Investigators plan to measure maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) by spirometry. - Results of Stroop Tests — The tests will be conducted before exposure and immediately after the exposure session
Investigators plan to measure the changes of cognitive function using Stroop Test.
