This month we look at a recovery tool for athletes developed at Loughborough University, the HQ for the London 2012 Olympic Games Team GB. Dr Vern Neville spent over 10 years analysing the training patterns of elite athletes and was inspired to develop a recovery tool after becoming injured from over-training himself.

Here at cubed we keep you up to date with the science that’s shaping our society and bringing a new dimension to everyday life. We give you the latest innovations in fashion and music, design and digital, film and life, to bring you the products and ideas that will change our world - prepare to be cubed...
