According to a new study published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (October 2011), an ArmourBite® Mouthpiece can significantly lower an athlete’s cortisol levels after one hour of intense exercise.
Conducted at The Citadel, the study showed that cortisol levels were lowered by 51 percent at 10 minutes post-exercise in the participants wearing the mouthpiece vs. those who did not. Cortisol levels were measured on all the participants (college football players) before, during and after a 60-minute session of intense resistance training.
Lowering an athlete’s cortisol levels more quickly after exercise gives the muscles an opportunity to repair faster and help prepare an athlete for the next workout.
