Problems we are addressing
Nobody likes to be too hot as causes the following:
- Uncomfortable / Irritable
- Effects concentration
- Reduced performance/productivity
- Tired
- Can’t start/complete work or finish race
- Cause accidents and overheating that can be fatal
It is not always possible to cool down using various solutions (ice bath/shower, dip in the pool, ice cold drinks, take of all our cloths :-0
React
How does the body react to heat?The body’s normal core temperature is 37-38 degrees Celsius. When it’s heating up due to physical exercise or external heat, the body reacts by increasing the blood flow to the skin’s surface. You start to sweat. As the sweat evaporates, the body cools down.
The more you sweat, the more your body has to work. Energy is more and more directed to the process of cooling down. So other areas will have to cope with less energy
Effects
What are the effects when your body fights the increasing temperatureWhen warming up, your body starts to sweat. In most cases this will be sufficient, but when your body is exposed to heat for a long period or increasing temperatures, it will have the following effects:
- sweat and transpiration will increase, your clothes get wet;
- your heart rate will increase;
- you start to feel uncomfortable;
- you will get tired;
- your body will get in strain;
- you will lose concentration (up to 40 %);
- you will get agitated;
- you will get a headache;
- your ability to react slows down, which may imply unsafetyness.
When exposed to heat too long, the following may happen:
- your muscles will cramp;
- you will not be able to concentrate anymore;
- you will faint;
- and worse (e.g. heart attack)
The process of a body that’s fighting the heat is called “heat stress”. And heat stress is easy to avoid, with the help of cooling products.
So why not assist your body with the process of cooling down? To stay comfortable, perform better and stay safe.
Avoid
Cooling products help to avoid “heat stress”Yes, but they do more!
You will perform in the way you are used to, for a longer period of time. You will enjoy what you are doing for a longer period of time. But there’s more.
Sporting performance will increase with around 10% for professionals. On an amateur level even more. That may not seem impressive at first hand, but the difference in performance between top athlete’s are just 1-2 %. It may just be the difference of becoming a world champion. That is why many top athlete’s and even worldchampions are using INUTEQ cooling products.
On an amateur level cooling products help you workout for a longer period of time. That means more and longer exercise, more muscle buildup and more weight loss.
And cooling will also help to restore your muscles quicker.
Your productivity at work will decrease less when cooling products are used. You will feel less tired or uncomfortable (sweat) and in hazardous environments, stay more safe.
