The critical temperature theory suggests that - exercise is shut down when a given core temperature is reached -skin vasodilation does not occur until a given core temperature is reached -hypothermia symptoms do not appear until a given core temperature is reached -sweating does not begin until a given core temperature is reached

- exercise is shut down when a given core temperature is reached

Acclimation is best achieved through - exercising at moderate intensity in the heat for 3 h/day, 2 times/week - using metabolic heat from exercising as the primary stimulus for acclimation - exercising at low-to-moderate intensity in the heat for 1 h/day for 9 to 14 days - passively resting in a hot, humid environment

- exercising at low-to-moderate intensity in the heat for 1 h/day for 9 to 14 days

During exercise in the cold, the primary metabolic substrate is -free fatty acids due to increased circulating catecholamines -glucose/glycogen in spite of increased circulating catecholamines -free fatty acids in spite of increased circulating catecholamines -glucose/glycogen due to increased circulating catecholamines
