Abstract

|
Korean women divers have dived for sea food in all seasons wearing only cotton swimsuits. Previous studies con-ducted in the 1960´s indicated that these women divers subjected themselves to a daily cold water stress greater than that of any other human beings and that they had developed an unique pattern of cold acclimatization (2). However since 1977 Korean women divers have adopted wet suits to avoid cold water stress during diving work. We therefore con-ducted a series of experiments from 1980 to inN,,estigate the effect of wearing wet suits on the thermoregulavon of con-temporary women divers (5, 7). The results of some of these investigations are presented below.
