Abstract: Winter sports are played in cold conditions on ice or snow and often at moderate to high altitude. The most important nutritional challenges for winter sport athletes exposed to environmental extremes include increased energy expenditure, accelerated muscle and liver glycogen utilization, exacerbated fluid loss, and increased iron turnover. Winter sports, however, vary greatly regarding their nutritional requirements due to variable physiological and physique characteristics, energy and substrate demands, and … Show more

“…In cold climates, the human body expends energy to sustain a sufficient core temperature. 13 Because of this, EE is much higher in people in a cold environment than other environments. 9,13 People participating in cold-weather exercise often lose up to 8% of their body weight.…”
