Reliability and validity of methods in the assessment of cold-induced shivering thermogenesis

ConclusionsSegmental regression provides a successful analytical method for identifying shivering onset. Good-to-excellent reliability can be seen across V ̇O2, EMG, MMG, and BSAS, yet given the observed lag times, SNRs, along with known advantages/disadvantaged of each metric, it is recommended that no single metric is used in isolation. An integrative, real-time measure of shivering is proposed.
