Take advantage of the benefits of optimal regeneration: noticeable recovery in just 5 minutes with CoolMitt® technology.

15 April 2022

CoolMitt® enabled firefighters to recover twice as fast as with passive cooling.

CoolMitt® enables recovery twice as fast.

In the first two minutes of recovery, CoolMitt® users recovered 118% faster than with passive cooling. In five minutes of recovery time, CoolMitt® technology enabled a heart rate recovery of 41 bpm (beats per minute) compared to 25 bpm with passive cooling.

Cooling down faster during recovery is healthier and gentler on the body and allows for a quicker return to activity.

Stronger & faster recovery

Firefighters using CoolMitt® as an active cooling strategy needed only two minutes to reduce their heart rate by 20 beats per minute, compared to four minutes with passive cooling. This benefit continued throughout the recovery period, allowing firefighters using CoolMitt® reduced their heart rate by 40 beats per minute within 5 minutes. The control group without CoolMitt® could not achieve this result (reduction in heart rate by 40 beats per minute) even after a 10-minute break.

More time in the "green" & less in the "red" heart rate zone

Participating firefighters spent more time in the Green Zone (HR<65% age-adjusted maximum) and less time in the Red Zone (HR>85% age-adjusted maximum) throughout training when they used CoolMitt® palm cooling during the recovery phase.

Less time to reach the “Green” Zone during rehab.

During rehab sessions, firefighters using CoolMitt® devices reached the Green Zone 67% faster on average than firefighters not using CoolMitt technology. ‍
