N2 - The metabolic and temperature response to mild cold were investigated in summer and winter in a moderate oceanic climate.
Subjects were 10 women and 10 men, aged 19–36 years and BMI 17–32 kg/m2. Metabolic rate (MR) and body temperatures were measured continuously in a climate chamber with an ambient temperature of 22 °C for 1 h and subsequently 3 h of 15 °C.
The average metabolic response during cold exposure, measured as the increase in kJ/min over time, was significantly higher in winter (11.5%) compared to summer (7.0%, P
