Stanford developes tech. Better than steroids

Very interesting. Had seen this used to treat heat related problems with soldiers in the desert environment as well as cold related problems where they used warm water as opposed to cold. This could really improve training recovery times.

Wow!

McClure explains the team realized the benefit the glove could have to athletes when a “gym rat” researcher put the device on and noticed a reduction in his muscle fatigue:

[...] after multiple rounds, cooling allowed him to do just as many pull-ups as he did the first time around. So the researchers started cooling him after every other set of pull-ups.
“Then in the next six weeks he went from doing 180 pull-ups total to over 620,” said Heller. “That was a rate of physical performance improvement that was just unprecedented.”

Very interesting. I love a hot gym since my joints don't hurt, but I am questioning if I should try a cold gym to mimic the effects?
