How efficiently you run

How effectively you shock absorb directly relates to your running technique. Seeing your scores with every step allows you allows you observe your performance and make adaptations as quickly as each step or changes in terrain, surface, fatigue state, etc.

For the first time, to see how efficiently you run with the higher the score, the more efficient your technique.

Your risk of injury

With every step there is an impact force at your foot strike that is transmitted up your leg - called the ground reaction force.

This force is the injury causing force and how your body transmits or absorbs this force determines if you get injured.

For the first time you can measure how well your body copes with this force and measure it – every step!

Degree of physical fatigue

Everyone knows when they are tired and lose form when they run. However, this fatigue occurs far earlier than this obvious fatigue state.

When you are fatigued you are putting yourself at risk of injury and your performance is suffering.

For the first time, you can understand when you are starting to fatigue and adapt your training to improve your performance and decrease your injury risk.

Degree of mental fatigue

At EVOLVE MVMT in 2018 we discovered that is common for some runners to lose form due to mental fatigue not just the previously accepted muscular fatigue.

With EVOLVE MVMT, you are prompted with live data, visual and feedback prompts when you are fatiguing.

For the first time it is possible to see if your fatigue is coming from mental or physical fatigue.

How good your footwear is for you

EVOLVE MVMT provides you live feedback immediately with every step you take.

Are you best suited to a barefoot shoe, a racing flat, mainstream runner or a highly shock absorbing shoe? Now you can decide - with evidence!

For the first time, you can now determine which shoe (or non-shoe) is best for your running technique.

What time of day is best for your running

Did you know that your neural system varies in its performance throughout the day and even day to day?

It takes longer to hit peak performance when you first wake up, timing your meals and performing a longer warm up or activation work are some strategies to enable you to adapt to the differences in your neural system activation.

For the first time, you can determine your performance each session so you can determine which times and days are best performing and lower injury-risk for your lifestyle.

Degree of physical recovery from a run

After any training session your body takes time to recover – this even more true for running. The more stress your body endures, the more recovery you need.

When you are recovering from a heavy session, your running performance - specifically your step quality and shock absorption performance decreases.

For the first time, you can now determine if you are still recovering or primed for a heavy session to optimize your training programs.

Improved performance

Poor shock absorption means slower running and a greater risk of injury.

Improving your shock absorption decreases the degree of negative forces that slow down your running performance.

It also decreases the negative, injury causing force every step that means you can safely train longer, harder, and more consistently. Better training leads to better performance.

For the first time you can see your shock absorption performance and use it indicate your risk of injury and your ability to improve your technique too.

Decrease injury risk

Poor shock absorption means there is more force being transmitted through your body. More force means a greater risk of injury.

Improving your shock absorption performance each step, decreases the injury causing forces that are transmitted into your body and decreases the risk of injury.

For the first time, EVOLVE MVMT allows you to see your shock absorption performance and determine your risk of injury.

Which speed or cadence is best for you

Your shock absorption performance varies with the speed at which you run.

Analyzing your step performance with varied speed or cadence directly optimize your running performance and allows you to train smarter.

For the first time you can see live within a run, on different surfaces and even in different shoes, what speed is best for your shock absorption performance and your body.

How different terrains affect your performance

Running uphill, downhill or along the flat requires a variation of your running technique.

It also requires a variation in the demand on your shock absorption performance, running downhill requires more shock absorbing than running on the flat, which requires more than running uphill.

For the first time, you can see how your shock absorption and running performance adapts to the differences in terrain and train smarter with this knowledge.

How different surfaces impact your run

The surface that you run on challenges your ability to shock absorb and run at your best in different ways. And it can be different for everyone.

Running on concrete can provide a consistent, level surface that can be hard, whilst running on gravel can be uneven and soft. With every surface having different characteristics for your body to adapt to, which can change due to temperature, weather and elements.

For the first time you observe every step and how the different surfaces you run on affect your body and performance. Every session.
