When you first start playing sports, signs of foot and calf pain will be easily noticeable. You might think that this happens to everyone new to sports, so you decide to take a few days off before training again. However, you still feel pain in your feet and calves. A few people try to keep running but eventually give up halfway. What most people don't know is, why does their body feel this way?
And that’s a big problem because if the root cause isn’t addressed, your goals of losing weight, achieving a great physique, or improving your overall health won’t be accomplished.
Over time, the muscles under your feet and behind your calves will be impacted and torn apart like the brick in the experiment above. As a result, you experience fatigue and pain in your legs
The key lies in the insoles you're using when playing sports. When you run, jump, walk, etc., the ground always exerts a force on your feet. That force is then distributed to your feet and the muscles behind your calves.
The more intensely you move, the greater the damage to your feet and calves. This is especially true when playing basketball or volleyball.
If you use a good insole, it not only helps protect your feet and prevent pain and fatigue but also allows you to jump higher and conserve energy during competition. NBA stars use insoles specifically designed for them. Due to their high cost, they always keep them for themselves when giving away their shoes

Be sure to buy yourself a pair of high-quality insoles if you want to achieve your goals of maintaining overall health, physique, and fitness through sports activities, or if you aim to achieve high performance in sports competitions.
