TCU will stop at nothing to make sure their athletes have a competitive edge over their opponents.
The school just unveiled the first “snow room” on a college campus in North America, where the temperature is kept at a crisp 7°, and artificial snow falls every night. It’s designed to aid in athlete recovery.
The snow room is located right next to a sauna, which will allow TCU athletes to experience a 183-degree temperature swing.
Janna Singleton, the TCU recovery center coordinator, told FOX 4, “With the hot therapy, your muscles tend to relax, so you’re able to get a lot more blood flow. And then with the cold therapy it kind of constricts them. So, the dilating and constructing is what we encourage, which helps lactic acid in muscles be released, which helps aid faster recovery.”
