Meeting the Metabolic Demand during 24h of Cold Survival Simulation: A New Perspective on Energy Needs, Fuel Selection and Muscle Recruitment

Cold environments have been an ongoing challenge for humans over the ages. To date, however, knowledge on the capacity to sustain the metabolic demand of shivering is mostly limited to modeling efforts. Actual models of shivering endurance, by a presumed analogy with exercise, rely on the assumption...
