For a sprinter, running shoes are undoubtedly the most important equipment. French nationality designer Luc Fusallo is currently using 3D printing technology to create the most suitable running shoes for athletes. When making shoes, Fusalo first collected the athlete's foot data to establish a 3D model. Later, he used 3D printing technology to sinter nylon polyamide powder into soles with different hardness. Fosalo then tested these soles through experiments to find the one with the strongest mechanical performance. Finally, he put the sole into the production process to make it a pair of wearable finished products.

Effect: used during training to help recover the injury

Researchers from a British company combined other people's research and found that the human body is not absolutely symmetrical. For professional athletes, the "length difference" of two legs may be more likely to be injured. Therefore, they developed insoles for Olympic athletes to adjust their body balance. However, most Olympic athletes customize this insole not for competition, but for training, because it helps them recover from injuries.
