AIRWAAV IS THE OFFICIAL MOUTHPIECE OF WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN
As “The Official Mouthpiece of World's Strongest Man," the AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece is helping strength athletes at all levels take their performance to the next level. AIRWAAV is backed by 15+ years of peer-reviewed, published research to improve strength and muscular endurance. It’s worn by a growing list of WSM competitors – most notably 2023 World's Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper, Max Boudreault, and Bobby Thompson – and athletes in the Strongman community who have praised AIRWAAV for its effectiveness and comfortable low-profile design.
AIRWAAV HIIT
The AIRWAAV HIIT Performance Mouthpiece is designed with an open bite channel and thin sidewalls. The design is ideal for athletes who prefer a relaxed, looser fit during the game or in training.
AIRWAAV ENDURANCE
The AIRWAAV ENDURANCE is designed with a narrow bite channel with form-fitting bars along the bite plate. The design is for athletes who prefer a tight, lockdown fit to ensure it stays in place when the jaw is relaxed.
INCREASED STRENGTH
Activates neuromuscular response to increase muscular force during intense exercise.
OPTIMIZED BREATHING
CT Scans prove the mouthpiece increases the width of your airway by up to 25% for improved breathing efficiency.
FASTER RECOVERY
Reduces cortisol by build up by 50% post-workout for faster recovery by activating the trigeminal nerve.
AIRWAAV is a lower fit mouthpiece that sits on your bottom teeth. This device will help train and position your jaw and tongue to allow you to optimize your performance. You will experience the benefits just by wearing AIRWAAV during exercise.
1. Gently bite down and breath through your mouth. Gently clencing will help hold the mouthpiece in place, activate neuromuscular response, and has been cited to affect tongue activity and to position your jaw in a way that optimizes the airway opening to help support the O2/CO2 exchange. It also reduces the production of cortisol helping your muscles recover faster after intense exercise.
2. Move the tongue forward placing it under the Intake Bar on the inside of your lower teeth. Placing your tongue in this position along with your tongue's reaction to the fitting material on the inside of your molars causes the tongue to flex, opening the airway and improving the O2/CO2 exchange. Lowering your respiratory rate and decreasing lactic acid.
