The latest game-changing tactic in the Philadelphia Eagles and 76ers
playbook is military-grade technology to protect the players' feet.
They have literally stepped up their game with Unequal® Ultra-Lite Insoles, which according to a Villanova University study block up to 80 percent of harmful impact to reduce the injury and fatigue that players experience.
The insoles are also the first product in the sporting goods industry to use the bullet-stopping power of DuPont's Kevlar as a shock suppressant. Football has a major impact on the human foot, especially when you factor in turf fields and the increased speed of play. It makes sense then to use shock blocking material to reduce stress and minimize injury.
According to Sports Podiatry magazine, there is now a paradigm shift for shoe insoles from traditional cushioning towards shock suppression technology. Soon to be implemented by major athletic shoe manufacturers, this insole evolution will result in less vibrations traveling up the lower extremity, eliminating fatigue occurring within muscles that lead to injury.
I'm looking forward to the other potential uses of Kevlar within the sporting goods industry
