Infrared thermography and monitoring in collegiate American football From Eric Renaghan- supported by ThermoHuman In elite team sport, practitioners are under increasing pressure to balance performance gains with injury risk reduction — and that’s where non-invasive, real-time tools like infrared thermography (IRT) can be game-changers. In this Sportsmith article, Eric Renaghan breaks down how IRT is used across a Division I collegiate American football program to track local tissue temperature asymmetries, identify subtle signs of stress or inflammation, and support return-to-play decisions with objective data. It’s a monitoring tool that’s immediate, athlete-friendly, and surprisingly versatile when used well. Renaghan walks through exactly how they structured the system: when and how imaging is taken, what thresholds are used, how data is shared across departments, and how IRT fits within a broader performance monitoring and medical strategy. This article bridges the gap between science and application, helping practitioners understand both the power and limitations of thermal tech. Want the full breakdown?
