TATAME AIR TRAINING SURFACES
Any activity involving motion height creates the possibility of landing or falling on the head or neck. Serious injury, including permanent paralysis or death, can result. This training surface (mat) cannot eliminate this hazard entirely. It should be used ONLY by properly trained and qualified participants under the supervision of a trained professional instructor. Do not allow the use of this training surface (mat) without proper supervision. Consult the instructor before use. Do not use a training surface (mat) with tears, evidence of flattening, or other defects. Check for proper positioning of training surface (mat) before each use.
TATAME AIR AQUA
ALWAYS consult your doctor before using an ice bath if you have any health issues!
DO NOT USE if you are: Under 18 years of age, pregnant, have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, have diabetes, complications such as neuropathy or retinal damage, wear a pacemaker, history of frostbite, have an open wound, had recent surgery, epilepsy or any other health concerns or risks. Using an ice bath can dramatically decrease your body’s core temperature. The immersion in cold water constricts blood vessels and slows the flow of blood around the body, which, combined with health complications, can cause your blood pressure to rise and give you a higher chance of cardiac arrest or stroke.
Side Effects
The most noticeable side effect of an ice bath is feeling intense cold. However, other side effects of staying in an ice bath for too long are: – hypothermia, frostbite, tachycardia (fast heartbeat), arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeat), allergic, and anaphylactic shock.
Our Recommendation
Despite the potential side effects and warnings, using an ice bath correctly has many health benefits. We always recommend you begin by spending a maximum of a few minutes in the ice bath and slowly working up to the recommended time. Never push your body beyond its limits. Cold water therapy works best with the right combination of time and temperature. For example, if you’re in a 10°C water, we recommend staying in for no more than 10mins.
Temp to Time Examples
1°C = 1min Submersion (33.8 degrees for 1min Submersion)
3°C = 3mins Submersion (37.4 degrees for 3mins Submersion)
5°C = 5mins Submersion (41 degrees for 5mins Submersion)
10°C = 10mins Submersion (50 degrees for 10mins Submersion)
