Seven male volunteers were divided into two groups based on body morphology and mass. The large body mass (LM) group (n = 4) was 21.2 kg heavier and 0.32 m2.kg-1 smaller in surface area-to-mass ratio (P < 0.05) than the small body mass (SM) group (n = 3). Both groups were similar in total body fat and regional skinfold thicknesses. All subjects were immersed to the first thoracic vertebrae for 120 min in stirred water at 18 degrees C. Overall, tissue insulation was similar (P > 0.05) between the SM and LM groups across time. Perceptual ratings of thermal sensation increased (P < 0.05) across time. Therefore, as cold water immersion progressed, tissue insulation was similar and thermal sensation increased (P < 0.05) in males matched for subcutaneous fat and total fat but differing in body mass and morphology.
