Do you enjoy outdoor sports in warm temperatures and don't want to miss out on them even when it's hot? Then you should protect your health with effective heat protection. Otherwise, there is a risk not only of loss of concentration and performance, but also of muscle cramps, exhaustion and circulatory problems. In extreme cases, this can lead to heat stroke or circulatory collapse, as has happened in recent years at some marathon events. The current 2021 study in the British Journal of Sportsmedicine shows: The top finishes and rankings of athletes who used cooling vests were better than those who did not. What's more, these athletes also crossed the finish line. With them, of course, E.COOLINE. 

Depending on the sport, you can relieve your body of a lot of heat stress with our cooling vests, cooling shirts, cooling headgear such as caps or headbands and arm coolers. E.COOLINE's 3D technology cools you effectively and dry with up to 660 watts.

The World Championships in Doha were a true endurance test for the German track and field athletes for Tokyo 2020. 28 of 68 marathon runners did not make it to the finish line. Several athletes had to give up due to heat problems. The German track and field athletes (DLV) have prepared for the heat - they rely on E.COOLINE cooling functional clothing. You can hear why the topic of "cooling in sports" is becoming increasingly important from DLV team manager Siegfried Schonert in this interview.

COOLING VEST INSTEAD OF ICE BUCKET

MORE ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE THROUGH COOLING

Blistering heat in summer and in hot countries is not only unpleasant, but also limits athletic performance. According to Prof. Winfried Joch from the Institute of Sports Science at the University of Münster, energy consumption in sports can exceed 90% just for heat regulation. Energy that could be put to better use if the body was deprived of body cooling. That's why many top athletes, such as the German Athletics Association, cyclists, basketball players and the Swiss NATI, use cooling vests, T-shirts, arm and leg cooling before sports, during every break and for regeneration. "Studies have shown that this can increase performance by up to 10%, especially at high temperatures," says Prof. Sandra Ückert.

For sports with breaks, cooling with E.COOLINE cooling vests or BigPad (towel) is therefore perfect for a cool break. If you want to do it like the pros, you can also cool down before and after the sport (precooling and regeneration). Depending on the sport, an individual heat coaching strategy is recommended for this. You can find more information HERE .

INJURY PROPHYLAXIS THROUGH COOLING

FASTER REGENERATION WITH E.COOLINE

The right recovery method is crucial for success in many sports. More and more competitions and games in ever shorter succession demand a lot from the athletes' bodies. The opinion has long been circulating that the winner is not the better athlete, but the one who stays injury-free the longest and best until the end of the season. As a rule, there is nothing to add to this. But how do you do it? In a large-scale study led by the University of Saarbrücken, several regeneration measures were tested for their effectiveness. The result: cooling is one of the few measures that leads to effective results in regeneration. With E.COOLINE you also save the effort with the ice bucket. Simply use Chaps for the thighs and PowerBoots for the calves or the cooling towel BigPad and regenerate cool.

What is the goal of regeneration?

Recovery time is shortened and micro injuries can be contained at the onset before more serious injuries occur. As a result, the athlete is fit again more quickly and is more likely to remain injury-free. Success for athletic performance is therefore more likely.

INDIVIDUAL COOLING

Of course, the clinical pictures and with them the needs for cooling are different. Why cooling is so important and which cooling strategy is particularly suitable for which symptoms can be read in more detail HERE.
