Do Sports Bracelets Help Performance?

In the past few years, many top sportsmen and women have started to wear sports bracelets to help improve their performance. Nick Riewoldt, Brendan Fevol, Shaquille O’Neal, Damien Oliver and Christiano Ronaldo have all, or are currently wearing some form of sports bracelet.

There are several different types of sports bracelets available. They are all designed to help balance the body’s energy, which in turn leads to better strength, flexibility and performance. Some athletes also feel that these bracelets help to protect them from injury and help the healing process when they do suffer an injury. The most recent sports bracelet contains holograms that are set to a certain frequency, which re-tune rather than balance your body’s energy. People are still sceptical about this form of sports bracelet, but they are starting to become as popular as the traditional magnetic sports bracelets.

The majority of sports bracelets are made out of magnetic material. The most popular of this type of sports bracelet is the Zion Z, which is made out of various materials. The main component of a Zion Z sports bracelet is high-grade magnetic titanium. There have been medical studies carried out in Japan and the initial findings are promising. They are fitted with an Alternating North-South Polarity Orientation (ANSPO) system, which many of their competitors bracelets do not have.

Motivational sports bracelets make no claims about balancing your body or improving its balance, flexibility and strength. They are just simple rubber of gel bands. Motivational bands work on the psychological level reminding the team of something that motivates them or a strategy. They are similar to a lucky charm, e.g. a rabbit’s foot, and give the team confidence and belief in their ability to perform. This type of bracelet can have advertising included on them to help the team to make money from sponsorship.

Whether you give sports bracelets a go or not is up to you, but they are relatively inexpensive and will not harm you. Given that so many world-class players use them, they are, on balance, worth a try.
