Abstract: 

The review presents the results of studies on the effect of low temperatures of different durations on the formation of adaptive reactions in humans. The mechanisms of changes in the metabolic and hormonal processes and cellular and humoral immune response are discussed.

Keywords: 
cold • adaptation • variability • stability • hypothermia • immunity • metabolism
