Winter sports and many other games are played in conditions close to freezing such as Alpine and cross country skiing, snowboarding and recreational activities such as climbing, back packing, hiking which may result in exposure to low temperatures, cold air and wind chill but are still attracting more people outdoors than ever before (Noble., 1986). Being in the cold may result in a rapid drop in core and muscle temperature, which will have an effect on the quality of performance. Adaptive responses are conducted by the body in organs due to interactions between sensory receptors, the central nervous system (CNS) and organs. Different parts of the body play important roles to maintain core body temperature at 37°C but as it drops towards the lower limit of 35°C consciousness is impaired. With a drop in muscle temperature due to vasoconstriction, motor performance reduces and with every 1°C drop in muscle temperature below its normal level resulting in a decrease in power output. The normal skin temperature averaged throughout the whole body is 33°C but when this value drops below 25°C extreme discomfort is felt but values of 23°C can be dealt with but the limb movement becomes clumsy, the joints stiffen due to the synovial fluid becoming more vicious as the temperature drops. The performance of fine manipulative tasks are severely impaired at a skin temperature of 15°C while at 20°C the sensitivity is reduced so that the impact has to be six times greater for it to be felt. These changes make an athlete more likely to experience an accident if the exposure to the cold is continued.
