Cool Products That Boost Athletic Performance

By Kamryn Mattson


These days, there are many products out there that promise to make you an even better athlete. Some of these products definitely can be a big help if you are looking to improve your overall athleticism, and here are a few examples.

While science has solved many medical problems and helped us go to the moon, it also has helped design a variety of athletic shoes that truly make sports better. There are specially designed shoes that can make you faster or jump higher, so purchasing good quality athletic footwear can be a great idea. Just be sure that the footwear you purchase was designed just for your favorite sport.

There is some debate about this next product, but many athletes swear by them. Magnetic wristbands are the newest thing, and these colorful bracelets have been said to boost performance and speed up healing. Some believe that magnotherapy bands can balance your pH, reduce pain and boost energy. At any rate, they don't contain any type of harmful chemical and are certainly safer and better for the body than many sports drinks and protein concoctions which contain a variety of harmful ingredients. Hologram bracelets are another option, and these have been used by many big name athletes, such as David Beckham.

Here's a product that is literally really cool. Cooling vests are a great idea if you live in a hot area and are getting ready for an outside event, such as a bicycle race or 5-K race. They are also great items for those who commute to work via bicycle. These vests also are used by people with multiple sclerosis and mitochondrial disease to help keep body temperatures in balance.

Muscular pain is definitely something most athletes must cope with from time to time, but that doesn't necessary translate to stopping all activity. Using a kinetic performance system can help one continue to work out and even speed up the process of healing. Unlike braces or complicated tapes that limit movement, the kinetic performance system does nothing to limit your movement, and it will stay in place for up to several days using a medical-grade type of adhesive.

The special design features an area that rests on top of the sore muscle with "arms" that reach out to other areas close to the sore muscle. These arms help the body use underlying muscles while keeping the sore ones at rest. Not only will you rest that sore muscle, the movement from the nearby muscles will send healing oxygen and fluids to speed up the healing process. There are systems for many areas of the body, those which are most prone to soreness and strains, including the lower back area, the upper back, the shoulders, the knees and even the elbows.
