Stabilisation, coordination and force production
The rate of stabilization is everything to an athlete. From local joint stabilization to global body control and coordination, the more stable an athlete is, the more power, force and resistance they will be able to generate or transfer.
At Naboso we help athletes achieve faster stabilization – from the ground up. With our textured insoles and sensory training mats, we help athletes tap into the power of the nervous system through the skin on the bottom of the foot.
The skin on the bottom of the foot is uniquely integrated into how the brain *sees* movement. The more sensory input to the nervous system, the more accurate the perception of movement.
Research has shown that textured insoles and surfaces provide a powerful benefit to athletes by increasing their joint position sense, controlling force production and adapting to impact forces. Enhanced proprioceptive awareness also leads to less risk of injury.
Athlete stabilisation
The skin on the bottom of the foot is packed with nerves that are sensitive to different stimulation including texture, skin stretch and vibration. When stimulated, these nerves help to control dynamic posture, joint position sense and the transfer of impact forces.
Proprioception for performance
Research has shown that a very effective way to stimulate the skin on the bottom of the foot is with texture. The research behind textured insoles and textured surfaces has demonstrated enhanced postural control, reduced risk of injury and a faster return to sport after injury.
Recovery & rehabilitation
Study after study has shown powerful benefits for athletes when integrating textured insoles and textured surfaces into their recovery, their training and their off-days.
Improving sensory stimulation through the feet can have an immediate impact on posture, balance & gait
What sports can Naboso be used for?
There are many applications for integrating Naboso Technology into athletes’ programming. We currently have have Naboso under the feet of ballet, Crossfit & Olympic lifting, downhill skiing, endurance running, NRL Rugby, NFL Football and MLB Baseball players.
Our Naboso Insoles are currently being used in athletes’ training shoes and as a form of recovery after their workout.
The Naboso Mats are being used as part of an athlete’s movement preparation for pre-activation, and are also integrated into olympic lifts and bodyweight training.
Running injury free
Our perception of impact forces is directly related to our ability to feel the ground and connect with the sensory stimulation of ground reaction forces. Wilkinson et al. found in his 2018 study that textured insoles reduced vertical ground reaction forces in runners, demonstrating the importance of sensory stimulation in runners.
The Naboso Performance Insoles help reduce running-related injuries by enhancing sensory feedback. When worn before or during a run, Naboso Performance Insoles can establish increased foot sensitivity and total body awareness.
Enhancing foot stimulation during cycling
Despite being a non-impact sport, cycling still requires optimal foot activation and foot to core stabilization. The reality of cycling is that it is a sport that requires a rigid shoe with little room for toe splay and frequent foot engagement. The result can all too be a disconnect between the cyclist center of stabilization (core) and their foundation (foot). This leads to delayed stabilization, compensation patterns and a loss of power.
Naboso Textured Insoles are the first and only means to enhance a cyclists’ foot proprioceptive awareness while in their rigid cycling shoes and throughout a long ride. Our unique textural design of the Naboso Performance Insole allows the cyclist to reconnect their foundation during periods of fatigue and intermittently throughout the ride.
