F3 HydroPool Introduction
1.
2. Introduction
F3 HydroPool is a brand of products designed by
F3 Engineering to aid the muscular recovery of
individuals, teams, athletes and contact sports
persons alike.
Our fixed, mobile and portable products are
scientific and hygienic alternatives to widely
used ice baths that are temperature controllable
between 4-16°C (based on guidelines set out by
Australian Institute of sport)
3. Why use an ice bath after exercise ?
An “ice bath” helps recovering in the following way:
• “Ice bath” narrows blood vessels and thus decreases blood flow
• This reduces swelling and tissue breakdown thus relieving pain
• Once out of the “ice bath” the underlying tissues warm up
• This causes a surge of oxygen filled blood to flow back to the muscles
• This helps return by products of cellular breakdown to the lymph system for
efficient recycling by the body
• Main by product is lactic acid which can cause cramp, fatigue and a general
feeling of tiredness in the muscles (delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS))
Use of F3 Hydropool products has proven successful in recovery for
gymnasts, athletes and contact sports persons alike.
