| Abstract |
A study of the basal metabolism with regard to the thermoregulatory, cardiovascular and respiratory systems in mineworkers in the Extreme North of the USSR showed that heat production increased and heat loss through the skin decreased during the winter months. Hyperventilation involving hyperactivity of the right ventricle and pulmonary circulation was also observed in winter. In the summer months no such changes were observed. |
