Cooling hands, feet, or face can significantly increase work output, with one study showing 600 pull-ups in cooled individuals.

“but you can see a considerable improvement in endurance, in strength and in all kinds of explosive and sort of, you know, explosive power type output in athletics by using these surfaces of the hands and bottoms of the feet and face.”

“I mean to me the result is just so staggering is the hundred to 180 pull-ups in the controls and then 600 pull-ups in the cooled individuals, right?”

“showing that cooling the palms in particular ways and at particular times can allow athletes or just recreational exercisers to do more pull-ups, dips, bench presses per unit time, to run further, to cycle further and to feel better doing it.”

“Why wouldn't more people do this if you can double the amount of endurance? Believe it or not. Or double the number of sets of exercise you can do or feel more alert and do more cognitive work.”

“And, if you do that in between sets of exercise or during a run or cycling you can dramatically increase your ability to continue. I actually use the CoolMitt for cognitive work.”

“And indeed, I saw a 60% increase in the number of dips I can do in a single session.”
