After more than a year of offering the course and CEU certificates at no cost, I am thrilled that this project has grown to over 1,300 members and over 600 certificates issued. Beginning Monday, July 13, the CEU assessment and certificate will become paid. To obtain free CEUs, the assessment must be completed before this date. What this means: - The course content remains free and public - The assessment link will move behind the paid access area - Certificates will only be issued after paid assessment completion Thank you to everyone who has completed the course, shared it, and helped make thermoregulation a more practical conversation in sport and performance.

The National Strength and Conditioning Association approved 0.7 CEU(s) in category C for certified individuals who successfully complete this course. For those NSCA-certified professionals out there, take the linked assessment to get your free CEUs! 0th Law of Physiology - Assessment for NSCA CEUs And please share with your colleagues!

One of the goals with this platform is create a collaborative learning experience where it is encouraged to ask, discuss, share, network, and contribute to personal and professional growth, individually and collectively. Please comment on this post with a short introduction about your background, professional experience, research interests, and anything else you'd like to share. I'll start off: I'm Braeden Ostepchuk, a former pro hockey player and mechanical engineer turned inventor and founder, obsessed with studying and building at the intersection of thermodynamics, physiology, and technology.

If anyone is interested in doing a deep dive on peer-reviewed, published literature on palm cooling, I've consolidated it all into a single resource. palmcoolingscience.com The intent is to be a centralized bibliography. No additional commentary, discussion, or analysis (apart from a 2-3 sentence "In Simple Terms" summary). To the best of my ability, I've also tried to tag and categorize, so that you can filter by things such as subject demographics (men vs women vs mixed), activity type (endurance vs strength), and others. This probably needs more attention for a better filtering system. Includes all published work that I've found (and will continue to add). Please let me know if I've missed any.

Hey everyone I wanted to post here to see if I could get some feedback regarding heat and headaches. Ever since I was young kid 8 or 9 and played sports in the heat I would get headaches. The headaches were so bad in freshmen year of football I would have to come home and lay down with a fan on me, the lights off, and I couldn't eat so some time after practice. I don't workout and am not in the heat as much as a was back then but if I get to much heat/sun I will still get varying intensities of headaches. Obviously heat is at play but I am curious why it is causing headaches and if there are any other possible physiological things going on that can help prevent them. While if I do a hot sauna for too long I will get a headache, I have noticed in the past few years that I get slight headaches even if I am out in the sun to long or get too much sun. This can be a pretty short amount of time 15-20 minutes and I can feel a headache coming on and often times I don't feel like I am hot or over heating. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
