In-Game Recovery for Athletes

The Narwhals™ are a palm cooling device for accelerating recovery during practices and competitions, and avoiding heat stress.

Accelerate heart rate recovery during timeouts 

Cool down quickly during breaks without removing gear

Extend work capacity during high intensity work

Reduce perspiration and loss of electrolytes 

If you’re not thinking about thermoregulation, you’re leaving points on the table.

Palm cooling is the most accessible and simplest way to improve therapy and performance across the board. Every training room and weight room on the planet should have the Narwhals!
Austin Einhorn, Movement Coach to Professional & Olympic Athletes

As ambient and core body temperatures increase, performance declines. By cooling between bouts of effort you can sustain a higher level of play longer.

Avoid heat stress

Recover heart rate faster

Increase work volume

A more powerful way to cool down is within reach

Our palms are natural radiators for the body. They contain special vasculature for efficient offloading of heat.

By holding something cool (not cold), with good thermal conductivity, and a mechanism for avoiding thermal barriers, you quickly remove excess body heat, accelerating recovery and improving performance.

How Palm Cooling Impacts Athlete Recovery

Palm cooling improves physical performance by delaying fatigue and accelerating recovery. In this article, we explore how palm cooling impacts an athlete's ability to recovery during games and in training.
