How does the ion ratio affect athletic performance?
In studies observing athletes in the NHL and the PGA, it is noted that 75% of athletes performed best on high negative ion days and worst on high positive ion days. The remaining 25% are just the opposite. This 25% is also found in the general population, and improved performance on positive days is due to natural adrenaline compensation. Usually this 25% is found in the younger teen to late twenties age group where there is sufficient adrenaline to counteract the effects of the positive ions. Athletic performance can be forecast for both the 75% and the 25% groups, as long as one knows which group the athlete falls into.
