Stanford University. I got heated up in a hot room in 140
degrees. Ran about three miles. Feels like you're going through a run in a
desert Normally, it would take a while to get his core temp to back down to normal.
What we're doing now is to cool subject off at a much faster rate with a cooling
device that we have put on his palm. How you're doing?
Our major heat exchange surfaces in the body are, are palms of our hands, the
soles of our feet and our face. And the reason is that these skin surfaces
are under lane by very special blood vessels.
The device that we have, which we call rapid thermal exchange or RTX, imposes a
vacuum on that surface. It's about what you can suck through a
straw. And then, the cool blood from the heat
exchange surface goes back into the core. The skin temperature is much darker so
he's cooled down quite rapidly. We've done endurance, treadmill work in
the heat. We've done bench press studies,
We've done pull up studies. And in all cases, what we can do by
extracting heat from one hand is we can dramatically improve performance.
What we were able to do is compare the rate of conditioning improvement, whether
strength or work capacity with our technique with what's been published on
steroids. And our rates are much higher.
You definitely can feel the difference. You definitely can work out a little
longer. The next time you come in you're feel
better, feeling stronger. You can reach your maximum performance
capacity without using performance enhancing drugs.
