Just heard an interview about this device on the Flo Cycling podcast FLO Podcast . Has anyone tried using one of these? I’m curious but skeptical. https://airwaav.com/

Perfect timing. Was just listing to the episode and though I would search the forum. Definitely, not much reputable research or studies. But I can see the logic in moving the tung out of the way.

Had to check the calendar to confirm it’s not April 1st!

I looked at that Flo podcast and skipped it. Looks like a scam to me. When I see Pogacar or Alaphilipe riding up Alpe d’Huez wearing one of these then I’ll know it works.

Coincidentally, I just read something about breathing on this coaching site: http://www.flammerouge.je/factsheets/breathing.htm You can skip down towards performance breathing if you like. What he describes sounds similar to this device but you can do it with your tongue for free. One you may w…

Leaving efficacy / claims aside, I’d probably gag and puke if I did any kind of workout with that in my mouth, especially high intensity stuff.

Maybe we can persuade DC Rainmaker or GP Lama to give this a rip and at least a basic review? (noting that I have a heavy dose of skepticism here as well)

Sounds similar to a technique described by Graeme Obree in ‘The Obree Way’, involving touching the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue when breathing in… although this seems like the opposite of this device?

Volume of air into the lungs is never, unless compromised, the limiting factor in athletic performance. If anything, our lungs are overspecced.

Maybe if it doubled as a mouthguard, it could see some limited use in DH and Enduro
