Cold and Active Compression Therapy System to Aid Cyclists Recovery after Training and during Upcoming Races

CoolSystems, Inc. - makers of Game Ready, a leading cold and active compression therapy system designed to enhance recovery - today announced it has been named an official product supplier to Team RadioShack, a bicycle racing team comprised of 26 riders from 15 countries who will be participating in the 2010 Tour of California and Tour de France.

Team RadioShack will use the Game Ready system to aid in their athletes' recovery after training and during races. Game Ready differs from conventional cold therapy solutions by offering the added benefit of active pneumatic compression from form-fitting anatomic wraps. The combination of cold and active compression helps reduce swelling, control edema, increase blood flow and the delivery of oxygen to injured areas, encouraging an enhanced healing process. The system is used by over 800 individual professional athletes and 550 professional and collegiate sports teams already.

"We have been researching technologies that can enhance our cyclists' performance by physiologically preparing their bodies to go as fast as possible and improving their recovery process. After testing a number of cooling solutions, it was clear that Game Ready simply performed the best,"said Allen Lim, director of Sports Science and Training for Team RadioShack. "We have been working closely with Game Ready to adapt its system to our needs, and we look forwards to seeing the benefits that this unique technology can provide."

"We are honored that Allen and Team RadioShack have added Game Ready to their training arsenal," said Russ Harrison, Game Ready's president and CEO. "We are most impressed by the level of scientific rigor with which Allen and his team approach an athlete's needs and how we can use their findings to provide cutting-edge recovery solutions not only to elite athletes, but everyday folks like you and me.

"Team RadioShack is comprised of 26 riders, including Lance Armstrong, Sam Bewley, Jani Brajkovic, Matthew Busche, Ben Hermans, Chris Horner, Daryl Impey, Markel Irizar, Andreas Kloden, Levi Leipheimer, Geoffroy Lequatre, Fuyu Li, Tiago Machado, Jason McCartney, Dmitriy Muravyev, Sergio Paulinho, Yaroslav Popovych, Gregory Rast, Sebastien Rosseler, Ivan Rovny, Jose Luis Rubiera, Bjorn Selander, Gert Steegmans, Tomas Vaitkus, Haimar Zubeldia and Fumiyuki Beppu.
