The hyper cooling unit, designed chiefly to expedite recovery from muscle stress, went on-line Monday, Nov. 10, and Tech’s director of sports medicine, Jay Shoop, said that already, “we’re getting 30 or 40 [student-athletes] a day.”

Why not?

Would you rather spend 15-20 minutes freezing in an ice water bath, or two or three minutes cooling in the chamber?

The Yellow Jackets are believed to be the first in the nation to have that choice, as the Georgia Tech Athletic Association (GTAA) has become the first sports organization at the college level to purchase the machine and house it on campus. TCU has access to an off-campus cryogenic unit.

Georgia Tech does not wait for technology to aid student-athletes. The GTAA goes and gets it.

The cryogenic chamber is not the only recent acquisition to Tech’s training room in the Edge Center on the northeast corner of Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Shoop and his staff also have added a laser therapy device that sends heat treatment into deep body tissue, and an anti-gravity treadmill used to assist in the rehabilitation of lower-body injuries.

That chamber is the one that grabs attention.

When the door swings open and the nitrogen gas clouds swirl out, you half expect to hear the voice of the Terminator to say, “Hasta la vista, soreness.”

“We’re looking at it mainly as a recovery tool,” Shoop said. “It reduces the temperature in the extremity tissues and drives blood to your core, and once you come out the blood starts coming back and it creates something of a flushing process. It gets rid of lactic acid, but mostly post-game, post-workout soreness.

“We try to stay on the cutting edge of our industry, and I think that by adding these three machines Georgia Tech is giving us the ability to do just that. If there is something out there that is going to help our kids get better quicker, recover quicker, or have any kind of advantage, Georgia Tech is helping us do that.”
