A new animal model for evaluating improvement in physical work performance and endurance in an adverse environment is described. In this model, rats in restraint were exposed to 5.degree.C to 480 mmHg atmospheric pressure. Results were compared to an animal forced to swim in water at 23.degree. C. In both the models, colonic temperature (Tr) of the rats was continually monitored during exposure to adverse environment and during recovery at 32.degree.C and normal atmospheric pressure. The time and pattern for Tr fall to 23.degree.C and its recovery to 37.degree.C were used as measures of endurance. The cold-hypoxia-resistant model was found to provide more precise results compared with the cold-swimming model. Panax ginseng root and Ginkgo biloba leaf extracts were compared for their positive endurance-promoting properties using both models.
