Relevance for the T-KARE patch
- This study concerns KOAR textiles, not directly the T-KARE patch sold today.
- The recovered signals should be read as exploratory indicators, not as a guarantee of individual effect.
- The main value for the patch is a cautious orientation: perceived recovery, thermal comfort and continuity through effort.
- No medical, therapeutic or guaranteed performance effect is claimed on this basis.
Recovered methodology
- SPSS statistical analysis mentioned in the presentation.
- Repeated Measures ANOVA.
- Repeated Measure Factorial ANOVA (Apparel x Stage).
- Reported significance level: P=.05, Bonferroni corrections.
Recovered result signals
- VO2: at 85% MaxHR, PeakVO2 is reported lower with KOAR Apparel (p=.330, interaction p=.743, reported difference 1.63%).
- Fatigue index: KOAR apparel lower fatigue index than placebo (p=.404, interaction p=.770).
- Temperature: subjects reported with higher temperature using KOAR apparel (p=.083, interaction p=.953).
- Temperature apparel x time: reported interaction p=.004, with the pre/post temperature difference indicated as significant.
- Cooldown: higher temperature maintained after cooldown, p=.062, reported mean difference .76%.
