Feeling The second half of the 2024 NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship is foreseeable.
It was later revealed as The most watched The undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks have had their women’s college game ever, hoping to end the perfect season with Iowa and superstar Caitlin Clark. Score profits rarely leave unit counts. Both teams left everything on the floor.
When Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley directed her team during the timeout, the trainer went through what a typical athlete needed to recover from a hard effort: water bottles, towels, sports drinks. However, each SC player is maintained at every rest time through a handheld device, with metal containers and copper expansion devices. These thick black cylinders feature small copper tubes coming out of the top, gradually tapering, looking like an oversized wine bottle held by your neck.
These are called “palm cooling” equipment ringnamed for its visual similarity, with the prominent ivory of the ring. They are made by Apex Cool Labs, one of several companies that make such devices, all designed to quickly cool the palms of athletes. Holding the copper tube will cause a Physiological skills: When you cool down the palms (or soles of feet) of someone who is stressed by fatigue, its core temperature will also drop. Their heart rate is normalized faster and can rebound from thermal stress more efficiently in less time.
Gamecocks point guard Raven Johnson said the entire team used performances in games and practices. These devices are particularly useful for large-scale players like Johnson, who led the team to 40 minutes of 37 minutes in the National Championship game last April, helping South Carolina finally win, win or not Lost championship season.
“When you raise your hand, it calms you down,” Johnson said. “It actually lowers my heart rhythm. It helps me breathe.”
Palm cooling, also known as palm cooling or vascular cooling, has been discovered by Stanford University researchers for 20 years. But it hasn’t entered the mainstream until recently.
Senior athletes in numerous sports have begun to use palm cooling as a training and recovery tool to combat Known effects Heat stress in the body – With the impact of climate change, the effect of this impact is becoming more and more important Make the conditions hotter In many sports. They are not the only ones who want to relax. Clinical research and growing anecdotal evidence suggest that the technology is beneficial in a variety of thermal stress areas, including fire protection, industrial work and medical circles. Many supporters of Palmar Cooling believe it is more explosive. “Honestly, I think it can be done globally,” Johnson said.
Palm – Is cooling technology a legal tool to combat thermal stress in a warm world? Or is it just another fashion that will pass after the hype disappears?
