Abstract
Oxygen uptake was measured on four subjects at rest and during mild exercise in air and in water in the temperature range 29.5–36.5°C over 20-minute periods. At comparable temperatures, oxygen consumption and heart rate appeared to be affected to a greater extent by average skin temperature than by immersion per se. Failure to give a normal reduction in heart rate on immersion in water below body temperature may indicate unfitness for tasks involving underwater work. Submitted on January 18, 1956Keywords
