The purpose of the study was to determine types of general cold adaptation and to reveal adaptation-compensatory regulation mechanisms of heat exchange and breathing. 24 healthy subjects were tested. Thermoregulation and gas exchange was measured before, during, and after a 10-day cold exposure (13°C, 2h). Before and after cold exposures, the ventilatory CO2 and O2 sensitivity was measured by the rebreathing method. The gas-analyser Eos Sprint ("Erich Jaeger", Germany) was used. The whole group exhibited the hypothermic isoinsulative adaptation type: during cold exposure Tre decreased (P
