[The effect of temperature and cold adaptation on slow-muscle contractile activity in rats]
Abstract:
Temperature dependence of single twitches as well as tetanic twitches was revealed. The adaptation changes were found to occur in single twitches alone. A distinction between slow twitch and fast twitch muscle contractions decreased after cold adaptation.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.
