An investigation of the importance of water contact, cooling, and apnea to the development of the diving reflex in humans was performed in two experimental series. The first series involved exposure of different parts of the face to direct water contact, while the second consisted of face immersion in water baths of varying temperatures. Data were obtained on heart rate (ECG's) and peripheral vasoconstriction (by indirect blood pressure using sphygmomanometry). Results were interpreted to indicate that the diving reflex is actuated by both facial cooling and apnea, but not by any direct effect of water contact other than cooling.
在两个实验系列中，对水接触、冷却和呼吸暂停对人类潜水反射发育的重要性进行了研究。第一个系列涉及面部不同部位直接接触水，而第二个系列包括将面部浸入不同温度的水浴中。获取了心率（心电图）和外周血管收缩（通过使用血压计间接测量血压）的数据。结果表明，潜水反射是由面部冷却和呼吸暂停触发的，而不是由除冷却之外的水接触的任何直接影响触发的。
