Effect of Low-Temperature and High-Humidity Exposure at Different Times on Blood Glucose Levels in People who Exercise
OBJECTIVE:This study aims to investigate the impact of low-temperature and high-humidity exposure at different times on the blood glucose levels of exercise subjects.METHODS:The study employed literature research method,experimentation,and mathematical statistics.The experimental simulation environment involved low-temperature,rainy,snowy,and icy conditions,with mice as the experimental subjects.The mice were randomly divided into groups based on body weight,including those exposed to normal temperature and humidity for 1.5 hours,low temperature and high humidity for 1.5 hours,normal temperature and humidity for 2 hours,low temperature and high humidity for 2 hours,normal temperature and humidity for 3 hours,low temperature and high humidity for 3 hours,normal temperature and humidity for 4 hours,and low temperature and high humidity for 4 hours.After intermittent exposure for 7 days and a 12-hour fast,a forced swimming test was conducted on the 8th day,followed by blood glucose measurements.RESULTS:Compared to the normal temperature and humidity group,the blood glucose concentration increased in the low temperature and high humidity 1.5-hour and 4-hour groups,with a significant difference in the 4-hour group(P<0.01);the blood glucose concentration decreased in the low temperature and high humidity 2-hour and 3-hour groups,with a significant difference in the 2-hour group(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Exposure to low-temperature and high-humidity environments at different times resulted in varying blood glucose concentrations in mice.The 4-hour group exhibited the most significant change,indicating a pronounced influence of low-temperature and high-humidity environments on blood glucose regulation in organisms.Additionally,exposure duration and intensity are important factors influencing blood glucose changes.This study provides valuable insights for athletes,coaches,and individuals engaged in long-term cold-weather activities,offering reference significance for adjusting diet and exercise plans in low-temperature and high-humidity environments.
