Fourteen men were equally assigned to either the experimental (CA) or the control (CON) group. The CA group was immersed to the chest in 14°C water for ≤120 min daily over a 5-day period while the skin temperature of the right-hand fingers was clamped at ∼35.5°C. The CON group was instructed to avoid any cold exposure during this period. Before and after the intervention, both groups performed, on two different consecutive days, a local cold provocation trial consisting of a 30-min hand immersion in 8°C water while immersed to the chest once in 21°C (mild-hypothermic trial; 0.5°C fall in rectal temperature from individual preimmersion values) and on the other occasion in 35.5°C (normothermic trial). In the CA group, the cold-induced reduction in finger temperature was less (mild-hypothermic trial: <i>P</i> = 0.05; normothermic trial: <i>P</i> = 0.02), and the incidence of the cold-induced vasodilation episodes was greater (in normothermic trials: <i>P</i> = 0.04) in the post- than in the preacclimation trials. The right-hand thermal discomfort was also attenuated (mild-hypothermic trial: <i>P</i> = 0.04; normothermic trial: <i>P</i> = 0.01). The finger temperature responses of the CON group did not vary between testing periods.
