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.
