Study on Skin Temperature in Whole-Body Cryotherapy
A publication in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology (November 2024) by Hela Jdidi, Claïre de Bisschop, Benoît Dugué and colleagues examines a practically relevant parameter of whole-body cryotherapy: skin temperature as a reference value for the application.
In the study with 30 participants in a modern whole-body cold chamber, the results showed:
- Normal-weight participants reached the skin temperature under consideration after about 4 minutes.
- Overweight participants reached it after about 3 minutes 30 seconds.
The difference is related to body fat percentage. This is above all a methodological finding: it supports considering the application duration individually rather than as a fixed value.
A note on context: the values cited come from a scientific study on a defined participant group. They describe a physiological measurement and are not a statement about the health effects of any individual product.
For sport, physiotherapy, longevity and wellness businesses, the practical consequence is: modern cold chambers such as the POWERCAB® allow precise, reproducible settings – the basis for a controlled, individually tailored application.
