Nike Develops Helmets That Allow Athletes To Cool At Top Speed.

If you are a person who is familiar with sports competitions, there will be a picture that will not be unfamiliar: the athletes will pour a bottle of water on the head.

This is not to play cool, but to quickly cool down the body, calm down the mind and save energy.

However, this simple method is useful, but the efficiency is not high.

In order to help athletes adjust their body functions better and faster, Nike's motion research laboratory (NSRL) has recently made some achievements in improving its cooling efficiency. It is a strange helmet that can quickly cool down and promote recovery, but it does not cause headaches due to cooling too fast.

At present, this product has not been named. The emphasis of the early generation test will be on the weight of the fabric and the optimal size of the helmet. The reference data include the physiological and psychological parameters of the athletes.

In addition, the Canadian women's seven all-round athlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton will also test her exclusive helmet prototype in this summer's training.

It looks like a swimming cap with some grids on its surface as a vent.

The position of the ear is opened, so that the athlete can hear the crowd cheering and avoid wearing a helmet like a claustrophobic tunnel.

This is not the first time Nike has developed equipment for the cooling needs of athletes.

In 2004, Nike designed.

(PreCool Vest) won the high praise of the Athens Olympic Games and the competitors at that time. After wearing them, they quickly dissipate their heat before the marathon or hockey match, keep cool, and retain more energy for the athletes, thus gaining the advantage in the next match.

US Olympic champion and ten world record holder

The experience of the competition gave the helmet some inspiration, and his head also became the prototype of the first generation helmet.

The ten omnipotent, intense sport, is making the most of every controllable advantage factor, and temperature is very important.

"When I ask myself: why do people feel better after watering after running? I can hardly answer this question from a physiological point of view, but after calming down, it will really do better."

"We will continue.

Cooperate to promote the iteration of this product.

The current plan is to improve the idea within 18 months and actually be used in track and field competitions. "

Sandy Bodecker, vice president of Nike's innovative product division, said, "so don't be surprised if you see this black technology at the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympics.
