The blood pressure responses to an acute and long-term whole-body cryotherapy (−110°C) in men and women

Abstract The blood pressure responses to an acute and long-term (three months) whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) were measured in men and women. Acute cold exposure (−10°C, −60°C, −110°C) increased both systolic and diastolic blood pressures temporarily. Neither significant gender differences nor adaptation in blood pressures were found during WBC. The variation of individual responses to the acute and long-term WBC was wide.
