37.5 degrees Celsius: The ideal core body temperature for comfort and performance.
If you’re able to keep your body at this specific temperature throughout your workout, then evidence suggests level the of performance will theoretically increase. But the question here is how can this be achieved? Cocona’s 37.5 Technology thinks it could be the answer.
This technology company has recently announced the results from their blind university study of thermoregulation during workouts, as well as the point when the athlete reaches 85 percent of their maximum heart rate.
Physiologists Eric Homestead, Benjamin Ryan, Jesse Goodrich and Professor William Byrnes administered the study, which took place at the University of Colorado at Boulder. It used three separate cases to determine the effects of cooling on physiological indicators for human subjects, which included a typical wicking t-shirt available from major athletic brands, a 37.5 brand t-shirt, and an ice vest and sleeves. The variables that were monitored during the study were core temperature, skin temperature, sweat rate, oxygen intake, carbon dioxide output, and blood levels.
Dr. Gregory Haggquist, Cocona’s founder and chief technology officer and the inventor of the patented 37.5 technology, said, “Now that the study is public we’re excited to be able to talk about the results. When we see data that shows you can improve an athlete’s performance by 26 percent at their lactate threshold, it’s pretty remarkable. To get that kind of increase in efficiency just by changing your shirt fabric is unprecedented.”
In the end, the study scientifically showed that 37.5 technology extends the individual’s performance at their lactate threshold, lowers core temperature during exercise, increases efficiency so the individual uses less energy to do the same amount of work and decreases the rate of core temperature build up. Whether you’re a construction worker, an athlete, a soldier or any other occupation that requires you to be in high outdoor temperatures, you understand the importance of keeping cool and have tried every way possible to make it happen.
Feeling a little skeptical about how well the garments work? Check out the user videos, which have individuals testing and reviewing the technology or even brand videos of companies who have partnered up with Cocona and explain how their particular piece of apparel works and how well they work with the 37.5 technology. The items range from ice skates to fly fishing waders.
This 37.5 technology could be the benefactor that makes working outdoors or training for athletic competitions a much less grueling experience all while increasing performance. All of this just by changing what clothes you put on in the morning.
