How Performance Cooling Works
Understanding how core body temperature impacts endurance performance, and how cooling extends your ability to perform in the heat.
The Heat Problem
Why Heat Limits Performance
During endurance exercise, the body produces heat faster than it can dissipate it. As core temperature rises, the body shifts resources away from performance and toward cooling. This leads to earlier fatigue and reduced output.
The Four Cooling Mechanisms
Effective cooling strategies support all four mechanisms working together.
Conduction through cold contact
Convection through airflow across the skin
Evaporation through sweat
Radiation through heat loss to the environment
Why the Vest Design Matters
Cooling That Works With the Body
Some cooling products block airflow and limit evaporation. The CELZEUS Cooling Vest is designed to promote airflow while delivering targeted cooling to support the body's natural cooling processes.
