- Abstract
Body temperature is controlled by complex thermoregulatory mechanisms which maintain core body o temperature within 0, 5°C. Lowering rectal temperature o below 32°C significantly decreases level of human body performance. Due to the lack of knowledge about first symptoms and usually poor communication with other competitors, athletes are prone to hypothermia and its complications. Insufficient protection from cold combined with poor physical and psychological fitness can further endanger athletes' health. This paper presents measures of prevention of hypothermia and warming-up procedures with special attention paid to clothing in cold conditions.
