How to improve aerobic endurance with the AIRWAAV Endurance Mouthpiece
Dr. Dena Garner is a full-time professor in the Department of Human Performance, the Director of Undergraduate Research, and the Assistant Provost for Research and Policy at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. She has received her doctoral degree in exercise physiology, and she has spent 15 years perfecting the AIRWAAV Endurance Mouthpiece.
The AIRWAAV is made up of three important parts. The intake bar is made to fit inside your lower teeth. You tuck your tongue under the bar when involved in intense exercise, whether that's running, cycling, or performing other aerobic exercises.
The bite plate absorbs gentle biting or teeth clenching during vigorous exercise. Then the form-fitting bars that extend out from the bite plate are made to be molded to your specific bite. This keeps the device in your mouth during the most robust workouts.
The mouthpiece is made of our patented Vistamaxx material, which is known for being both comfortable and pliable as well as tough and strong. The mouthpiece does not absorb water, saliva, or bacteria, so it's easy to keep clean using gentle soap and water.
The AIRWAAV mouthpiece improves your aerobic performance in a few different ways. First, the position of your tongue as you tuck it under the intake bar and press it against the bite plates in a way that makes breathing more natural and efficient. This has been shown to reduce your BPM (breaths per minute) by up to 20% by improving your O2/CO2 exchange rate.
This process also decreases the production of lactic acid, which naturally makes you want to slow down and rest when your muscles and stressed and you are exerting a lot of energy. By reducing lactic acid, you're less likely to feel exhausted as soon as you would without the AIRWAAV Endurance Mouthpiece.
Another benefit of the AIRWAAV Endurance Mouthpiece is that it reduces the production of cortisol, or the stress hormone. This allows your muscles to heal faster, allowing you to train more consistently with shorter rest periods.
