Can u guess what’s that white thing on the treadmill. 
Explaining thermoregulation - the science of heating and cooling the body and how u can control it to improve your performance many many fold. With specific protocols it can allow people to perform 200-600% more volume and repetitions of resistance exercises at the same
weight loads, or to run, cycle or swim significantly further. Proper cooling of the body has allowed people to go from doing their usual outputs up many fold. Usually when we do resistance training you may have noticed that your loading capacity decreases with every set
eg. if u do 40 pushups in first set by the third set you end up doing 20. Same is with endurance workouts like running. This is because the muscles heat up. And if u can cool ur muscles it will go on to increase your output many folds.
There are three areas in our body which work wonderful in passing heat out of body and cooling it - face, palm and feet. We can cool up or heat the body through them. When we feel cold we rub our hands to pass on heat to our muscles. Same is with cooling your muscles
Because of heat our performance starts to deteriorate and if u can cool them you can see tremendous improvements in your athletic performance to a staggering degree. When muscles heat up enzymes start to get disrupted and ATP and muscles don’t work efficiently.
So if u can keep temperature lower you can do more work per unit time. U may not feel the heat but muscles become hot. I use the ice pack to put my palms in between my run to cool my muscles. In between ur resistance training sets if you can cool ur palms u will see huge
improvements in ur lifting. If u want to experiment - do ur regular first set set of push-ups, cool your palm for 10-30 seconds, do second set, cool again, maybe a bit longer and third set and so on. Check ur performance improvement over a week. The same when running.
Cooling ur face or palm or feet when u start to fatigue will make your core muscles cool down and u will be able to generate more output. During outdoor runs u can carry a cold can or something and keep changing between ur hands. Too much cold is also not beneficial
You will see tremendous improvements in all types of endurance and power output over a period of time. If u want to dive deep on this read the book Thermoregulation and Human Performance: Physiological and Biological Aspects. #fitterwithSandeep
