Procedure 3 (Grip Strength and Heart Rate after cold water submersion)
Have subject submerge their dominant hand up to their forearm in ice water at 5 degrees Celsius for one minute. When the dominant arm is submerged in the water, use the pulse transducer on the opposite index finger to determine the pulse of the subject. After one minute, have the subject remove their hand from the ice water, quickly dry off the arm, and place the hand dynamometer back into the palm of the subject. Tell the subject to grip as hard as they can for one minute to determine maximum grip strength. Remove pulse transducer from non-dominant hand and remove the hand dynamometer from the dominant hand. Have the subject relax for 3 minutes.
Procedure 4 (Blood Pressure and Reaction time after cold water submersion)
Have the subject submerge their dominant hand back into the cold water for one minute. Use the sphygmomanometer to determine the subject's blood pressure while in the cold water. After one minute have the subject remove their hand from the ice water, quickly dry off the arm, and set up the push button transducer into the dominant hand of the subject. Have the subject push the transducer as soon as the stimulus is given (visual and auditory cues). Remove the sphygmomanometer and the push button from the subject and have them return to a relaxed position.
Protocol
Statistical analysis
Have subject submerge their dominant hand up to their forearm in ice water at 5 degrees Celsius for one minute. When the dominant arm is submerged in the water, use the pulse transducer on the opposite index finger to determine the pulse of the subject. After one minute, have the subject remove their hand from the ice water, quickly dry off the arm, and place the hand dynamometer back into the palm of the subject. Tell the subject to grip as hard as they can for one minute to determine maximum grip strength. Remove pulse transducer from non-dominant hand and remove the hand dynamometer from the dominant hand. Have the subject relax for 5 minutes.
