More Info on the Cooling Glove

The device, called the Glove and invented by two Stanford biologists, is used by the San Francisco 49ers during games and at practice for players' health. But its applications are far broader: from treating stroke and heart attack victims to allowing soldiers to remain in the field longer under intense heat. And maybe even MS!

"We learned that you can actually reverse that muscle fatigue in a short amount of time," co-inventer Heller said. "And if you cool muscles during rest, you get a much greater recovery than if you rested without cooling."
