Unlocking Performance: Exploring Cool Mitts and CNS Efficiency with John Welbourn and Dr. Craig Heller

Recently on Power Athlete Radio, we dove deep into an intriguing topic: the science of cooling mitts and their potential to enhance athletic performance. Alongs
The article from SI.com discusses the innovative approach to enhancing athletic performance through the use of "Cool Mitts," as explored by John Welbourn, a former NFL player, and Dr. Craig Heller, a Professor of Biology at Stanford University. They delve into how cooling the palms of the hands can significantly improve Central Nervous System (CNS) efficiency. This method, known as "palm cooling," helps in reducing core body temperature, which in turn can decrease fatigue, enhance endurance, and improve cognitive function during physical exertion. The article explains the science behind this technique, detailing how the body's thermoregulation can be manipulated to benefit athletes by optimizing their performance through better heat dissipation. It also touches on the practical applications of this technology in sports, highlighting its potential to revolutionize training and recovery protocols.
