Running sports

Especially with the running sports, such as jogging, Nordic walking and trekking, your joints and feet are exposed to the same repetitive pattern of movement during a relatively long period of time and have to withstand twice to three times your body weight.
Shock-absorbing NovaPED sports foot supports are available with different properties to combat this increased strain and prevent damage to the musculoskeletal system and thus guard against premature fatiguing of your muscles. There is a most suitable type of foot support available for every individual sportsperson.

NavaPED active sports

This soft sports foot support is machined from a triple-layered block with special material combinations of different hardness.
The light and flexible as well as optically attractive foot support has very good heel-to-toe foot rolling characteristics thanks to the thin finish in the forefoot and is thus particularly suitable for trekking and hiking.
The metatarsal area has a softer bedding than the hind and forefoot, which leads to an optimal reduction of load with unhindered transmission of forces.
The foot support is adapted to your shoe through appropriate processing of the underside by your specialist dealer. The IOS sport foot supports do not take on body odours and can be hand-washed at 30° C.

NavoPED sports

The foot support NovaPED sports running, which is manufactured using film technology, has harder elements which enable a direct transmission of forces, as is necessary, for example, in Nordic walking, jogging or sprinting.
The light, thinly elaborated padding of the big and little toe area avoids overloading the areas susceptible to callus formation.
Additional padding in the front toe area has been dispensed with for optimal power transmission.

NovaPED sports

Many sportspeople often have an imbalance of certain muscle groups in relation to one another.
Certain muscle areas may therefore be overexerted. As a consequence, the longitudinal arch and the inner ankle may twist during the landing phase.
With the help of this machined foot support, certain elements prepare your foot for increased strain by inhibiting muscles which are too strong and activating weaker muscles more early.
Thanks to these so-called sensomotoric components, twisting of the inner side of the foot is diminished. In this way, wrong exertion of individual joints is reduced starting from the upper ankle joint. At the same time, the foot support acts like a training device with which a physiological balance of the muscle groups is developed.


Code-Nr.: 77 1485-000

General Properties:
Hindfoot:
•  Muscular heel guide thanks to rim elements
Metatarsals:
•  Asymmetric longitudinal arch, in order to activate the muscles
•  Space for the active muscles between longitudinal arch and the metatarsal element
Forefoot:
•  Toe element creates pre-tension in the toe extensor muscles
