Saints Mouthpieces

[supervol01]

So I'm watching the Saint/Falcons game right now and they just were talking about the special mouthpieces that the Saints wear to help flexibility and range of motion. Does anybody know much about this stuff? I think our Vols should invest in this if they haven't.

The New Orleans Saints mouthpiece used tonight was reportedly the Pure Power Mouthguard by Makkar. The Saints mouthpiece improves flexibility. The flexibility of the Pure Power Mouthguard (PPM) is described as “game changing” by Makkar.

“Invented by neuromuscular dentist Dr. Anil Makkar, the Makkar PPM™ is a sports appliance that is custom-designed and manufactured to each individual athlete/user. The Makkar PPM™ naturally aligns the athlete’s jaw, and in doing so, has been shown to enhance explosive power, balance, range of motion, flexibility, endurance and oxygen flow during training and competition, allowing the user to maximize their performance.”

Besides increased flexibility, the Saints mouthpiece has the following tested results:

“We have in hand results of a research study performed by a reputable US College with funding from us that compared the results of a traditionally-fitted custom mouthguard with a PPM™. We will be in a position to release the full research report shortly. At this time, we can provide a summary of the findings, as follows:

1. Vertical jump was significantly higher;

2. Peak power on the WAnT was significantly greater with the PPM™;

3. Significantly better performance was found for average mean power for WAnT + intervals.”

T.O. to Shaq use the product

If it is real and does really work at all, it'll end up like gator-aid and everyone will be using it within a year (by next season)

If it improves air flow, that's a benefit right there

^ Huge benefit. I've always hated mouthguards...
