CoreTx provides state of the art palm cooling, which is a scientifically proven solution for workers or athletes operating in elevated temperatures.

As your core temperature increases beyond the normal range, physical and mental performance quickly declines. This can lead to poor decision making in potentially life-threatening circumstances.

Research carried out by Stanford University and others determined that moderating core temperature through cooling the palm can be an effective strategy for combating heat stress in challenging environments enabling users to perform better for longer.

Whether you are a firefighter needing to recover rapidly while containing a fire, or a soldier operating in hot desert conditions while wearing protective gear or a nurse wearing PPE to protect yourself from biological hazards you can rapidly recover from potential heat stress by moderating your core temperature quickly with the CoreTx, enabling you to more safely and quickly resume your activities.

A session of only 2 or 3 minutes can leave you feeling refreshed and can lower the risk of your core temperature rising to unhealthy levels.

By managing heat stress with regular short sessions using CoreTx palm cooling you can lower the risk of heat stress developing into life threatening heat stroke.

Military personnel, fire-fighters, miners, industrial and construction workers, nursing staff and surgeons are just some examples of work environments where staff can benefit from short palm cooling sessions using the CoreTx.

Please note, the CoreTx is not appropriate for heat stroke – in such circumstances cold water immersion is recommended to quickly reduce the temperature of the patient.

CoreTx provides state of the art palm cooling, which is a scientifically proven technique for increasing workload and strength on a level normally only associated with the use of anabolic steroids or other PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs).

This was the conclusion of researchers at Stanford University following studies into increasing bench press and pull-up capacity which showed performance increases on a par with the use of steroids.

When performing the bench press or other weight training with medium to heavy weights there is normally insufficient aerobic activity to result in a significant increase in the body’s core temperature.

Consequently, scientists have concluded that the palm cooling may be having an effect on the fatigue signals that the muscle is transmitting to the brain thereby enabling the subject to perform more repetitions and lift heavier loads before fatigue sets in or the moderating of blood temperature through palm cooling delays the over-heating of the activated muscles e.g. the pectoral muscles during bench pressing.

See Kwon YS, et al. Palm cooling delays fatigue during high-intensity bench press exercise.  Medicine & Science in Sports Exercise 2010; 42:1557-65.

In the above study participants were able to increase workload volume (both repetitions and total weight pressed) by over 25% using palm cooling compared to no palm cooling.

CoreTx provides state of the art palm cooling, which is a scientifically proven technique enabling athletes to benefit from rapid recovery during intervals in a match.

As your core temperature increases beyond the normal range, physical and mental performance quickly declines. This can lead to poor decision making with negative consequences in a competitive environment or accelerate the onset of fatigue.

At half-time footballers, for example, have limited time to re-hydrate and refuelled as well as receiving tactical input from the coaches so little time is left to perform recovery interventions.

With CoreTx palm cooling players can feel mentally and physically refreshed in as little as 90 seconds. And refreshed players make better decisions as well as benefiting from delayed onset of fatigue. As coaches know only too well fatigue is the main pre-cursor of injury with the final quarter of a match carrying the largest injury risk.

Research by Stanford University scientists established that palm cooling was a rapid and effective means for combating heat stress, delaying fatigue and enabling athletes to perform better during the next stage of the match.
