Wearing MBTs in-between workouts not only makes you a better athlete, but a healthier one as well, since MBTs help reduce and prevent injury, while speeding recovery.
Prevention.
As everyone knows, the best way to recover from an injury is to avoid one. By strengthening small, neglected muscles, increasing core stability and reducing the load on joints and discs, MBTs can help keep you on your feet and off your back.
Core Training.
Well trained core muscles are essential for all kind of sports. The trunk as connection between legs and upper body has a key function in stabilization. Training on unstable surfaces (such as wobble boards) strengthens your stabilizing muscles. Because of its curved unstable sole construction, MBT offers an ideal solution for core training as just walking and even standing in MBTs provides positive effects on your posture musculature and core strength. Balance and coordination all improve, and movement quality is sharpened.
Recover.
Serious training in any sport takes its toll. Even when injury is avoided, there is enormous stress on the body.
MBT’s modified sole construction creates an intense back-and-forth rocking and more lateral instability. This results in greater muscle activity while walking and standing.
The result of this “training effect” is increased circulation and metabolism, with extra oxygen and nutrients reaching the blood, and metabolic waste being eliminated faster. In other words, muscles get more of what they need, and remove more of what they don’t.
This leads to faster recovery and regeneration of muscles. And as any good athlete knows, the quicker you can recover and resume training, the better your performance.
