MBT Index: Performance - The MBT classic. The sole construction is dynamic and strongly curved, with a narrow heel area. Designed for high training intensity.
MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology and is also known under the label Swiss Masai. It refers to the unique sole construction of the footwear and is generally understood more as a training device, as wearing them provides nearly constant coordination training and engages additional parts of the skeletal muscles. Studies have shown that overall energy expenditure increases when wearing MBT shoes due to the higher demand on various muscle groups, particularly the leg, abdominal, and back muscles. Scientific research yielded the following results:
19% additional muscle activity for the thighs
18% additional muscle activity for the lower extremities
9% additional muscle activity for the gluteal muscles
MBT shoes are considered a training device for the entire body:
- Strengthening neglected muscle groups
- Improving posture and gait (up to 10 degrees straighter posture)
- Toning and shaping the body
- Can help with back, hip, leg, and foot discomfort as well as joint, ligament, and tendon injuries
- Reduces strain on knee and hip joints
Areas of application:
- Medicine (relief of discomfort)
- Sports (training support and performance enhancement)
- Everyday life (increasing fitness and wellness).
