How often do you use palm cooling in training, competition, or recovery?
In Modules 8 & 9, we explore palm cooling in depth as an evidence-based cooling intervention to help mitigate heat stress, delay fatigue, and increase exercise capacity. While the research is compelling, adoption across sport and performance settings is still limited. Please take a moment to vote on the poll. If you're open to sharing more, consider responding to one of the prompts below in the comment thread. If you have used palm cooling: - What's your experience been like? - Any specific results, metrics, or lessons? - In what context do you use it - training, competition, recovery? If you have not used palm cooling: - Do you plan to try it? - What is the primary reason you haven't - access, awareness, skepticism, something else? Thanks for contributing to our collaborative learning process.

Would you recommend a baton as opposed to actual cold/room temp palm immersion in a bucket. Basically if I have a group doing cycling in the heat, If I can have a bucket of water at room temp to immerse their hands in for about 30-60s if feasible during breaks?

I'm not too concerned with the wet hands. It will be outside during mountain bike training, and they have to wear gloves on the bike. Half the time, they pour water over themselves anyways to keep themselves cool. Their hands tend to be wet and sweaty most of the time anyway. So they'll probably welcome it. The biggest obstacle would be having enough buckets or a big enough bucket for them all depending on group size and rest time.
