Physical Education Afterdrop Sleep Deprivation Acute Cold Exposure Recovery INTRODUCTION: While the physiological responses to acute cold exposure (ACE) have been examined, little research has been conducted examining the recovery aspect of acute cold exposure (ACE-REC) during the presence of additional physiological stressors such as sleep deprivation (SDEP). Examination of ACE-REC during SDEP warrants investigation to examine the afterdrop associated with ACE as this is the critical period when core temperature decreases and hypothermia may ensue. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of 53-hours of SDEP on the thermoregulatory, metabolic, hormonal and cognitive responses during ACE-REC from multiple bouts of ACE. METHODS: Eight healthy, Caucasian males (22.8 ± 1.7 y) completed a control trial (CON) during a normal night’s sleep and an experimental trial during 53 hours of SDEP in which they were exposure to cold air (10°C) for 120-min, once per day for three consecutive days followed by 120min of ACE-REC in 25°C air. Blood samples were collected at baseline (BASE) and following 120min of ACE-REC to analyze epinephrine (EPI) and norepinephrine (NE). Cognitive function of the participants was assessed through a performance vigilance task (PVT). During ACE-REC, rectal temperature (T<sub>re</sub>), mean skin temperature (T<sub>sk</sub>), thermal sensation (TS) and modified thermal sensation (TSM) were examined at BASE, 5min, 15min and every 15min thereafter for the duration of the ACE-REC. Aerobic metabolic rate (VO<sub>2</sub>) was measured at BASE, 15-min, 25-min and every 30-min thereafter for the duration of the ACE-REC. RESULTS: Condition by time repeated measures ANOVAs demonstrated a main effect for time (p≤ 0.001) for Tre, Tsk, VO<sub>2</sub>, TS and TSM for all stages of ACE-REC whereby Tre, VO<sub>2</sub>, and TSM decreased across time while T<sub>sk</sub>, and TS increased across time. ACE-REC stage 3 demonstrated a condition by time interaction (p≤ 0.001) whereby T<sub>re</sub> increased during SDEP. A random regression analysis indicated a significant relationship (p≤0.001) between EPI and T<sub>re</sub> demonstrating that as EPI concentrations increased, Tre increased.CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the investigation during ACE-REC, Tre was increased during SDEP conditions as compared to CON conditions after 53 hours of sleep deprivation. Alterations of the sleep-wake cycle through SDEP may have altered core temperature. 2009-05-01 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1240368187 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1240368187 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
