How Insole Benefits Racquet Players

badminton, bat, activity

Racquet sports definely is my favourite because I love playing it as well it has more complex movement patterns such as diagonal, Lateral, Reverse, leap, and vertical jump.

  • Diagonal movements :
    • either at the front or rear court movements requires the insole to give more Forefoot Cushion due to its landing force goes on the forefoot first.
  • Lateral Movements:
    • are known for quick reaction time or changing directions requires the insole made for sports and not so high cushioned or rigid. Very High Cushion Insoles can make the sports shoe be thicker and feel so much comfortable but lack its safety and function for speed.
    • This may Result on Ankle Sprain.
  • Reverse Movements:
    • Any Reverse movements or backwards pedal requires great flexibility on the insole at the forefoot and still having the arch support  at the ideal mid foot to heel. Very thick Cushion at the forefoot or rigid forefoot shoes can make the sports shoe be thicker and feel so much comfortable but lack its safety and function for speed.

Any athlete can suffer from feet pain or commonly known as plantar faciitis , or other feet pain, this can be worst if the same person has High Arch, Low Arch , or Pronation. This feet type will be definitely load not just the ankle and feet but also knee and lower back  as well due to postural misalignment.

Prolong jumping , running for long hours week by week can also affect feet fatigue and this can also make the athletes want to take more breaks between practice, small fatigue can also affect the performance for serious athletes. All racquetsports requires great ankle mobilization and core stabilization. Feet pronation and knee alignment definitely gives a great impact on their winning performance.
