Power of Placebo
Many cycling related products on the market make claims for how drastically they’ll improve your performance. Most of these claims are not warranted by science; however people still tend to perform better when using them. How can this be? The power of what we believe cannot be under-rated as this video outlines.
Momentum’s advice? Steer clear of the bogus claims and put the same confidence into the tried and true. Training hard(er) and recovering will improve your performance. Believing that your training will drastically improve your performance will allow you to bump your performance up to another level. Train well and put your mental stock where it is most warranted. Banking on placebo alone might work for some, but the same confidence put into something sound – such as a well thought out training program, a balanced diet, or more sleep at night will bring you the biggest dividends. Work hard, know that you’re going for it 100% and enjoy the experience.
