Heat
HEAT accumulation will MELT mechanical systems.
BURN electronic systems and KILL biological systems.
WHEN WE ARE ACTIVE WE PRODUCE HEAT.
Heat is a by-product of the metabolic activity required to activate our muscles. Surprisingly the process of converting chemical energy
into kinetic energy is inefficient.
We manage to utilize between 5% to 30% of the chemical energy potential and execute it as physical movement. The rest of the energy is wasted as heat.
Athletes
Heat may affect athletes through
two crucial ways:
2.
RISK OF INJURY
Exercise, especially prolonged training in hot conditions, causes a significant increase in body temperature.
This limits the trainee's ability to perform physical tasks by impacting various internal systems and doubling the physical load.
In extreme weather conditions and even if the trainee drank a large amount of water, during exertion the body will not be able to cool itself fast enough and get rid of excess heat.
Hence dehydration and heat stroke, can occur quickly.
1.
Performance & Recovery
The heat load makes it difficult for the athlete to reach their full potential because the body invests a lot of energy in channeling and emitting heat.
To cope with this situation, the body increases sweating intensity which leads to a disturbance of the salt balance and increases fatigue.
prolongs the recovery from athletic activity in hot conditions.
As a result, athletes are unable to maintain training at high intensity over time and their performance erodes in endurance competitions.
To avoid heat-related injuries it is customary to examine
the core temperature of the body including the temperature of internal
organs such as liver and the heart.
While the sweating mechanism allows for efficient cooling of the surface of the human body and extremities (arms and legs), the core of the body mainly cools down only by transporting heat through the bloodstream. The excess heat is carried by the arterial blood to the surface where the blood loses the excess heat to the environment and returns the bloodto the core through the veins.
The core temperature range that the human body is able to withstand is very narrow.
High temperature will impair the metabolic efficiency of various enzymes and cause protein coagulation (similar to the process that takes place in cooking).
Core temperature
CryoHide™ slows down the accumulation of heat in the body core during sports activity by cooling venous blood that return to the core of the body.
The simplicity of using CryoHide™ and its efficiency, can be a life-changing factor in hot weather conditions. With CryoHide™, heat is no longer a reason for stopping activity or avoiding training.
Our technology allows athletes to reach their physical potential and push themselves to new achievements without compromising their safety.
CryoHide™ is a unique technology for efficient
body core cooling developed by Delta-T.

Preclinical trials
Trail I :: Field Test
Two 1:10hr outdoor rides, were performed in high heat index (30°C, 57%rH).
Core temperature was measured with e-Celsius Performance capsules by BodyCap.
While using CryoHide™ core temperature was lower by an average of 0.14°C (max 0.35°C).
The heat exposure index is a comparison between resting core temperature and the temperature measured during exertion.
In the graphs presented, exposure is the highlighted area between the graph and the vertical line at 37.6°C.
The control exposure measurement without CryoHide™ was 225.53.
CryoHide™ improved the exposure index to 178.91.
The difference was 46.62, an improvement of 20.5% in exposure to high core temperature.
Trail II :: MediX Sports Lab
A single test according to our future clinical trial protocol was conducted (at 26°C, 34%rH).
The test included maximum effort test, followed by a 70% steady state effort.
Core temperature was measured with e-Celsius Performance capsules by BodyCap.
While using CryoHide™, core temperature
was lower by an average of 0.25°C.
The exposure index was improved by amazing 32.68% (175.96 vs 118.45).
The results of this improvement are:
Maximum effort showed 50W improvement (300W vs 350W).
Steady state effort showed a 10W improvement (180W vs 190W).
About us
Delta T is a self-funded innovative start-up company, that develops performance-enhancing accessories for use during sports activities.
The company filed a patent application. The invention relates to a garment designed to cool the wearer. It is a particular feature of a cooling garment that takes advantage of blood flow in the body to help cool the wearer.
