What you need to know about how water temperature affects your workout
According to medical research, a muscle works correctly only when it is at a temperature around 82 degrees. At temperatures below this, it starts to contract and lose its elasticity. Prolonged work on a cold muscle causes cramping. It is also known that the body cools 25 times faster in water than in air. To reduce these effects, we have developed a range of Aqua Skins which enable you to keep your muscles close to this ideal 82-degree temperature for an effective swimming or training session.
