I, too, think it's a bunch of nonsense- but I suppose it's power in their mind's eye. Whatever gives them the confidence to *think* they are stronger, more centered, etc.
I have 2 professional triathlete friends and 1 professional in-line skating friend who wear these (and numerous other friends in triathlon and cycling). They will all SWEAR by them. "they really work." ummm... OK.
I, however, do NOT think they make a bit of a difference (like the magnet bracelets that are supposed to help you physically) and think they're placebos.
I'm certainly not shelling out $30 for it.
I read the brochure. It's HILARIOUS!!
I think a HTFU bracelet would be just as effective for me as well.
