I remember reading about that in something Trent Stellingwerff wrote or maybe posted about a couple years ago. I want to say it was a paper he wrote, but can't be sure that's correct.

because of blood vessel constriction in a effort to preserve body heat you have a decrease in blood perfusion to the area(decreasing delivery of nutrients and removal of metabolic byproduct) this will in turn decrease the muscular adaptation you receive from training
