Performance Mouthpieces

Regardless of level, exercise enthusiasts seem to be on an endless search for the latest gadget that will improve their performance. The fitness term for this is "ergogenic aid." In essence, what mode can they insert in their training that will not only improve performance/expedite recovery, but what may even "de-stress" their workout. Enter the performance mouth guard. Under Armour has a patent on one, as do other companies. A client of mine started wearing one a few months ago (not the Under Armour model) and has noticed a significant change in his cycling performance.

The New York Times ran a good article this past week on these mouth guards. Check it out here and let me know your thoughts: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/17/health/nutrition/17fitness.html?_r=1&ref=nutrition
