With the London 2012 Olympics drawing closer as each month passes, it is no wonder that managers of specialist sports training venues/centres (used solely for Olympic performance preparation) are taking no chances when it comes to providing excellent air conditioning for their users.
Air con hire can ensure user comfort
The option to immediately hire mobile air con units (in the event of a fixed system breakdown occurring) from air con rental experts is something many training centre managers find invaluable, in fact. They are even putting contingency plans in place, to safeguard their centres from being too hot for users*, should their built-in air conditioning system fail.
* As well as having use of the finest equipment and facilities, athletes obviously expect to train in the right temperature; failure to do this could not only slow down their progress, but also possibly lead to health issues arising, such as dehydration, exhaustion and/or even injury.
About David Haye's Title fight preparations
In 2009, British boxer David Haye (through his manager Adam Booth) employed the services of a UK specialist air conditioning hire company for the supply of essential climate control equipment, so that the training conditions in the build-up to his much-anticipated Title fight in Germany would be perfect. With gym temperature and humidity levels expertly taken care of, Haye was able to concentrate fully on his task ahead.
Leased air con for all sorts of sports training centres
It is not only for Olympic athletes and prize fighters that a comfortably cool temperature is essential during training sessions, of course: renting air conditioning units from experts on a short or long-term basis is something sports training centres of all kinds do each year. The centres might provide dedicated training programmes in tennis, boxing, gymnastics, martial arts, badminton*, or one or more of a whole range of other sports.
Helping students to focus on crucial exams
At the centres, users not only strive to improve their skills, but also sometimes work towards achieving qualifications in their particular sport: to perhaps become a coach, instructor or teacher later on. Demand for rented air con is highest, in fact, when a sports training centre is being used for exams. On such occasions, it goes without saying that student performance can be adversely affected if the sports hall is stiflingly hot.
It is not difficult to imagine, then, the anxiety created for both sports training centre managers and users if a fixed air conditioning system fails, or simply does not have the capacity to cope in extremely hot weather. In such situations, a specialist air con hire company can 'come to the rescue'.
What to expect from a specialist in air con rental
The greatest demand for air con leasing, fan hire and chiller hire is during the summer months, obviously. Mobile air conditioning units, high capacity fans and powerful chillers can be used to distribute an adequate volume of cool, ambient air exactly where and when it is needed. This requirement is generally found at older buildings where the existing air conditioning system is aged, and has never been upgraded or replaced, and is therefore prone to failing (usually at the most awkward times!).
New, purpose-built sports training centres will usually have state-of-the-art air conditioning provision in place; however, hired portable air conditioning units can be utilised during periods when these built-in systems are being serviced and/or maintained.
Contingency plans
As part of a contingency plan, an air conditioning hire company can do a site survey at a sports training centre and agree plans to safeguard the venue from the consequences of an air con system failure. The specialist will consider aspects such as: site access, where equipment can be best located, ambient temperature requirements, and available power supply (generators can usually also be provided where required).
With a contingency plan formulated, the services of a thoroughly prepared and primed air con hire specialist will only be a phone call away. The expert team will respond immediately to an emergency call-out. They will have the portable air con units, fans and chillers in place and operating quickly, ensuring little or no disruption to users.
Finally...
Air con rental at individual sporting events
Specialist air con hire is also something that can also be utilised well at sporting events, to maintain a required, specific temperature during matches, meets and competitions, etc. This can also be utilised in 'warm down areas' and 'stretch-down stations' at events such as the London Marathon or the Great North Run, where the well-being of participants is, of course, paramount. ?
