Shoulder pads designed by College <strong>of</strong> Medicine<br />
researchers are helping players at the high school,<br />
college and pr<strong>of</strong>essional levels keep their cool during<br />
those steamy early season football games. Dr. Nik<br />
Gravenstein (far left) and Sem Lampotang, pr<strong>of</strong>essors<br />
in the department <strong>of</strong> anesthesiology, were part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
team that came up with the idea that led to the<br />
Temperature Management System, which blows cool air<br />
through football pads. Marybeth Horodyski, director <strong>of</strong><br />
research at the UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine<br />
Institute, oversees testing <strong>of</strong> the equipment.<br />
