[Protection from the cold. A further useful preventive measure].

    Summary

    Protecting skin in cold environments is crucial. Greased skin loses 20% less heat in cold water, and combining protective creams with hyperaemising substances doubles protection duration and enhances muscle warming.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and physiology
    • Thermoregulation and vascular responses

    Context:

    • Skin perception of temperature is vital for thermoregulation.
    • Cold air and water exposure impacts skin and muscle physiology.
    • UV radiation's effect on the vascular system in cold remains uninvestigated.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the efficacy of cold air protection formulations.
    • To determine the impact of UV radiation on the skin's vascular system.
    • To establish optimal formulations for cold air protection creams.

    Summary:

    • Skin loses 20% less heat in cold water when greased.
    • Hyperaemising substances, used cautiously, enhance cold protection.
    • Combined application of protective cream and hyperaemising product doubles protection duration and warms muscles.

    Impact:

    • Optimized cold air protection products enhance skin's defense against cold.
    • Improved thermoregulation supports functional capacity and coordination in cold conditions.
    • Findings are relevant for winter sports, high altitudes, and prolonged cold water immersion.
