‘Try’ A New Sole-Mate?
The rugby season has well and truly kicked off and whatever the number on your shirt, the nature of the game means a full on season of sprinting, goose-stepping, tackling, jumping and rapidly changing direction.
Did you know? Although nothing will stop the shock of a big tackle, you can help absorb the massive shockwaves that running around a pitch sends through the body.
Rugby players take on average between five to eight thousand running steps in a match and did you know that you place one hundred tons of pressure on your joints and bones over the course of just one thousand running strides? Every foot strike equals between three to seven times of your body weight and these impact forces are placed on joints, muscles and tendons. The result is injury, strains and sprains that can run from your foot to the top of your head.
But help comes in a simple, slim addition to your footwear!
What? Enter the ultra-low, slim and Advanced Field Sports Insoles from medical sports aid brand Ultimate Performance Medical. The insoles have been specifically designed for fields sports and absorb the shock that high impact sports like rugby have on your body to keep you on your game for longer.
How? Every sports shoe comes with an insole, so why not replace it with one that is specifically designed to absorb the impact of each foot strike? By simply removing your existing insole and replacing with the Advanced Field Sports design (use your old one as a template to cut to size) and you’ll feel more supported, balanced and comfortable throughout your training and matches. In turn, this will help prevent muscle and joint fatigue while warding off injury and common niggles.
Here are the benefits of wearing sports insoles:
Better Support
Insoles provide additional support beneath the foot, helping create a more stable and comfortable foundation inside your studs.
Improved Comfort
Long training sessions and tough matches put significant pressure on your muscles, tendons and joints but insoles absorb the shock of every foot strike, helping muscles and legs feel fresher for longer.
Enhanced Stability:
Rugby involves rapid changes of direction and the Advanced Field Insole can help your foot feel more secure within your footwear, giving you a more stable base during sudden explosive movements.
A More Secure Fit:
The right insole can improve how your foot sits within your footwear, helping minimise unwanted movement and creating a more locked-in feel.
Reduced chance of injury / help with recovery:
The F3D technology within Ultimate Performance insoles attenuate up to 96% of the shockwave generated each time your foot hits the pitch. This helps prevent many lower limb over-use injuries, as well as aiding recovery from them.
Built for the Demands of Your Sport:
Choosing an insole designed specifically around your sport can help provide the support and comfort you need to perform at your very best.
Why not make the Advanced Insoles your new rugby kit bag essential this season – it’s a win win?
Suitable for all gait and foot types.
