- Wetenschap
Thousands of new scientific articles are published, daily. However, overcomplicated findings and technical jargon can limit the ability to understand even the basics of a paper.
In Science from the Source, we attempt to demystify research findings by speaking directly to the study authors; thereby, allowing them to outline the important findings and necessary take-home messages.
Through this podcast we hope to provide a resource that will allow anyone to understand even the most complex of studies.

EP#24: Do cold hands make for faster athletes? Tessa Maroni PhDc
In this episode, I speak with Tessa Maroni who is a PhD candidate in the School of Human Sciences at the University of Western Australia. Tessa discusses the impact of the heat on athletic performance and whether hand cooling could be a viable method to help athletes perform in hot conditions. She then outlines her article: Hand and torso pre-cooling does not enhance subsequent high-intensity cycling or cognitive performance in heat, which was published in 2019 in the journal Temperature.
