Sports activities result in unusually high amounts of movement and pressure on the foot.
Slight imbalances in the foot not dangerous or detectable under everyday circumstances may render you vulnerable to injury with the extra stress of sports activity. By eliminating the need for your muscles to compensate for these 'hidden" imbalances, orthotics reduce fatigue and promote the kind of efficient "muscle memory" that's crucial to outstanding performance. Orthotics help absorb these pressures, and can reduce abnormal rotation and side-to-side movement. Walkers, runners, rollerbladers/skaters, tennis/squash players, golfers, cyclists, skiers, baseball players, soccer players, or anyone who engages in sports will benefit.
Our orthotics were used in a research done by "The Wingate Institute" in Israel, to determine if orthotics can improve performance in elite athletes.
The results were that the athletes who participated in the research showed an improvement of 7%-12% in oxygen consumption.
