Outcome measures were defined as the lumbar load assessed by the VAS of lumbar fatigue after the snow-shoveling trial and the snow-shoveling performance, including the number of scoops, and snow shoveling time and distance.

There have been only a few reports regarding the relation between snow shoveling and acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS). We present a case series of 5 patients who presented with AHFS, all within 5 days after shoveling snow.

However, there seemed to be insufficient evidence supporting these recommendations because they are not based on data from actual snow shoveling research....The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in brain temperature (tympanic temperature) and visceral temperature (rectal temperature) during snow shoveling among healthy young males....Methods: Eight healthy young males (age, 23.6 ± 2.4 years; weight, 69.7 ± 6.1 kg; height, 172.8 ± 7.3 cm) performed snow shoveling with an ordinary-size shovel for 15 min at their own pace in a rural snowfall area in December, 2009....A significant negative correlation between changes in Tre and Tty were observed during snow shoveling (r = -0.49, p < 0.05)....Conclusion: Discrepancy between changes in brain temperature (tympanic temperature) and visceral temperature (rectal temperature) should be taken into consideration in the prevention of disease development during snow shoveling in a cold environment.
