British athletic and sports supported by research facilities

摘要

The achievements of British athletes in the Olympics and other high profile sporting events is being supported by a wave of investment in training and sports research facilities around the UK, powered by Bitzer Ecostar systems. Around a dozen high-tech sports laboratories have been equipped with temperature-controlled training facilities recently, enabling athletes to train in precisely controlled conditions that can mimic those experienced anywhere in the world. In a recent project, refrigeration contractor Cold Control installed a specially-designed system at the University of Kent, enabling sports scientists to control temperature, humidity and oxygen levels for athletes in training.
