Preparing for the Paralympics with sweat Hoovers and heat chambers
As the 17th summer Paralympic Games start in Paris, some of Great Britain’s athletes have been going the extra mile when it comes to training by working out in a heat chamber set to 40C.
But it’s about more than just heat. Athletes with spinal cord injuries or limb differences don’t have the same surface area through which to sweat, so the chamber is also about seeing how their bodies adapt and recover. After every session, the sweat Hoover is brought out…
Plus, Canadian filmmaker and activist, Kyla Harris, discusses her new BBC comedy, We Might Regret This. It follows Freya (played by Kyla) as she attempts to navigate moving to London and a romance with a silver fox lawyer. What could possibly go wrong…?
Just a heads up, there is some stronger language than usual in this episode.
Presented by Emma Tracey and Paul Carter
Produced by Daniel Gordon, Claire Bates and Alex Collins
Sound design and mixed by Dave O’Neill
The editors were Beth Rose and Ben Mundy
