Palm cooling (often referred to as palmar cooling) is a type of recovery intervention that involves cooling the palm of the hand[1] during rest periods between bouts of strenuous physical activity. The palm cooling modality can be used to moderate increases in core temperature[1][2] resulting from the level of physical activity, the wearing of protective clothing or a combination of both, for example in the activities of military personnel or firefighters.
Sporting activities, for example during timeouts of basketball or at half time in a game of football, where recovery time is limited, is another example where the level of physical activity combined with or without high ambient temperature can lead to raised core temperature. In these circumstances palm cooling can be used as it is important that the cooling intervention does not chill major muscle groups, which need to be kept warm to optimize performance[3][4] when the physical activity is resumed.
There is some evidence of palm cooling during rest periods delaying the onset of fatigue,[5] which is a major precursor of injury[6] and an inhibitor of performance. Palm cooling is also used for strength & conditioning,[5][7][8] for example between sets in a weight training programme or where obese subjects are taking part in a weight loss[9] exercise programme.
