Maniac Brainiac Winning the Game

Please, please tell me you haven't purchased a Power Balance wrist band. They're another so-called fitness product that's worthless.


A recent study at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse showed that there was no significant difference in strength, flexibility, balance or power while wearing the bracelet versus wearing a placebo bracelet. In fact, test scores were higher on the second trial, regardless of which band was worn.


The Product demonstration videos that show improvement on the second trial are misleading. The improvement, based on the cited study, is a result of warm-up and/ or practice. The makers of the bands even admit there is no scientific evidence that these bands provide any benefit whatsoever. Save $5-30 and skip the bands.
