Abstract
Multiple embodiments of a system are disclosed to draw heat away from the body through the palm, back of the hand, or forehead using a thermoelectric device. In doing so, the core body temperature may be lessened, allowing for quicker muscle recovery and better physical performance during exercise and/or during rest breaks between periods of exercise.
