Author(s): D.P. Garner and E.J. Mc Divitt

Background:Protective mouth pieces havebeen used in a variety of sports to decrease the risk of or of acial injury.There islimited data to suggest that mouth piece use during exercise mayalsoprovideanergogeniceï¬??ect.Aim:Toinvestigatetheeï¬??ects of mouthpiece use (the Edge, Bite Tech Corp) on physiological parameters. Methods: Twenty-four college-aged recreationally ï¬�t subjects ran for 30 minutes on 2 separate trials with a mouthpiece randomly assigned to each trial for all subjects.
