The present investigation is based on a 2.5 months selbstversuch (self-experiment) of the authors, between October 21 1992, and January 6 1993. 11 healthy students, five females and six males, age 24 to 29 years, and their teachers underwent regular winter swimming at least once a week, for 2 to 10 minutes, at the natural water temperature (6.8 degrees C (October 1992) to 2.0 degrees C (January 1993)) in the southern Baltic Sea. Blood samples were drawn before and 30 and 60 minutes after the cold bath, both at the first and the last day of the swimming season. TSH increased from 0.96 mU/l to 1.42 mU/l (p < 0.01) in the untrained, and from 0.93 mU/l to 1.43 mU/l (p < 0.01) in the cold-trained persons, and decreased thereafter (p < 0.01). Similar changes occurred in cortisol serum concentrations, though psychological stress seemed to interfere with cold stress. Cortisol increased from 99 ng/ml to 133 ng/ml in the untrained, and from 101 ng/ml to 137 ng/ml (p < 0.05) in the cold-trained persons within 30 minutes after cold water immersion, and decreased thereafter (p < 0.01). There were mild decreases in prolactin serum levels after cold stress, whereas FSH, LH and growth hormone remained unaltered. There was a mild initial elevation of serum glucose after cold stress (plus 12 mg/dl, (p < 0.01)) which disappeared after training. There were long term training effects besides the effects on glucose: Basal prolactin levels increased by almost the factor two, and insulin serum levels dropped by almost 50%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
