Most sporting goods companies conduct research and test their products. But few, if any, have peer-reviewed, published research to support their claims. You may wonder ‘what’s the difference?’

Peer-reviewed and published means that an accredited board of doctors, researchers and/or scientists at reputable research or medical journals thoroughly reviewed the study, the methodology, results and published it with confidence that the findings have been scientifically proven.
