The CorTemp Ingestible Core Body Temperature Sensor is a pill that athletes ingest that\u00a0wirelessly transmits core body temperature as it travels through the digestive tract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to monitoring core temperature, this equipment also measures how hard the athlete is working. In extreme heat, athletes can push themselves too far and experience heat related illnesses. I hope with these trials, we can learn how to better prevent sudden death in sport related to heat stroke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McDermott plans to test both methods throughout the summer practice season and release his data in the fall. In his study, he is factoring in accuracy, ease of use, and cost of the product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough the pills have been used for awhile, they aren\u2019t very cost effective. They currently cost $40 each. The headbands and monitoring system costs $5,000, but it\u2019s a one-time cost,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>[slickr-flickr search=&#8221;sets&#8221; set=&#8221;72157627099234797&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though temperatures in Chattanooga are hitting the upper 90s this summer, the Mocs football team continues to prepare for the fall season with voluntary outdoor practices.
