In Modules 8 & 9, we explore palm cooling in depth as an evidence-based cooling intervention to help mitigate heat stress, delay fatigue, and increase exercise capacity. While the research is compelling, adoption across sport and performance settings is still limited. Please take a moment to vote on the poll. If you're open to sharing more, consider responding to one of the prompts below in the comment thread. If you have used palm cooling: - What's your experience been like? - Any specific results, metrics, or lessons? - In what context do you use it - training, competition, recovery? If you have not used palm cooling: - Do you plan to try it? - What is the primary reason you haven't - access, awareness, skepticism, something else? Thanks for contributing to our collaborative learning process.

One of the goals with this platform is create a collaborative learning experience where it is encouraged to ask, discuss, share, network, and contribute to personal and professional growth, individually and collectively. Please comment on this post with a short introduction about your background, professional experience, research interests, and anything else you'd like to share. I'll start off: I'm Braeden Ostepchuk, a former pro hockey player and mechanical engineer turned inventor and founder, obsessed with studying and building at the intersection of thermodynamics, physiology, and technology.

I have a quick comment/question. I train a lot of young athletes like hockey players and lacrosse players, as I was a former hockey player myself ...but it also run a boxing gym, as I cut into Boxing and boxed professionally for a few years. I keep the gym. Relatively warm, even though we have air conditioning. I want the athletes, especially the boxers, to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. When I was boxing professionally, I was training with sweatsuits on in the heat and obviously it was very uncomfortable, but I got really used to it. Is there a level of a acclimatization when training in the heat or cold weather? I got really used to training in the heat and could deal with it very, but I know there are a number of performance decreases as soon as the heat increases. Would love to know some thoughts.

If anyone is interested in doing a deep dive on peer-reviewed, published literature on palm cooling, I've consolidated it all into a single resource. palmcoolingscience.com The intent is to be a centralized bibliography. No additional commentary, discussion, or analysis (apart from a 2-3 sentence "In Simple Terms" summary). To the best of my ability, I've also tried to tag and categorize, so that you can filter by things such as subject demographics (men vs women vs mixed), activity type (endurance vs strength), and others. This probably needs more attention for a better filtering system. Includes all published work that I've found (and will continue to add). Please let me know if I've missed any.
