Mouthwear fit for a firefighter
1st Mar 2010
Already a success in America, UnderArmour Performance Mouthwear is now available in the UK, exclusively through dental practitioners.
Originally designed to help athletes reach their full potential, many US practices that offer the mouthpieces have also reported a growing demand from professionals who face physically or mentally demanding situations.
Nate Rhoda, a firefighter in Omaha, Nebraska, noticed a significant difference in his performance at work since having his mouthguard fitted.
He said: 'I have been using the mouthpiece during emergency calls for about three weeks now. We recently had to pry a car door open and lift a patient that weighed well over 200lbs for probably 20 minutes. Normally, I would be completely drained after a call like that, but by wearing the UnderArmour Performance Mouthpiece, I didn't feel wiped out like I usually did.'
As well as during heroic rescues, Mr Rhoda also noticed the positive advantage that wearing the mouthpiece had on his training regime.
He said: 'During my workouts the results were obvious! I noticed I was able to maintain my performance for 30-40% longer than before.'
