Can Insoles Help You Jump Higher?

By Drew Arciuolo


How Can Insoles Help You Jump Higher:

 

Have you ever wondered if something as simple as insoles could make you jump higher? It's a question that many athletes are now asking themselves, and the answer is not as straightforward as it once was because of the introduction of new technology.

 

First, it's important to understand what insoles are and how they work. Insoles are removable inserts that you can place inside your shoes to provide additional support, cushioning, shock absorption, and most relevant to this specific blog: energy return. They come in a variety of materials, including foam, gel, and even high-tech materials like carbon fiber.

 

Now, let's get to the big question: can insoles help you jump higher? The short answer is that it depends on the individual and the type of insoles used.

 

Not all insoles are created equally. Most insoles are made of foam and plastic and designed predominantly for comfort. As you might imagine, there’s nothing about these supportive insoles which will help people jump higher. That’s simply not their purpose.

 

VKTRY Insoles are designed specifically for athletes and claim to improve performance by increasing energy return and reducing the impact of landing. These insoles have a more rigid construction because they’re made with a heel-to-toe, carbon fiber base, and are designed specifically to provide energy return and stability of the foot. I know what you’re thinking now: show me the science.

 

Independent, PhD-led research has shown that VKTRY Insoles in particular can have a positive impact on vertical jump height. In a study published in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, researchers found that athletes who used VKTRY’s energy-returning insoles increased their vertical jump height by an average of +1.6 inches.

 

 

Additionally, it's worth noting that insoles are just one factor that can improve vertical jump height. Other factors, such as strength, technique, and overall fitness will figure into the jump height equation. . The impact of insoles on jump height is likely to be more significant for athletes who are already at a high level of performance. For someone who is just starting out, has poor mechanics, or has a low level of fitness, insoles are unlikely to make a noticeable difference in a person’s vertical.

Conclusion:

So, can insoles make you jump higher? The answer is yes, but with some caveats. If you're an athlete looking to enhance your performance, investing in high-quality insoles designed for energy return and support may be worth considering. However, for the average person looking to improve their jump height, focusing on overall fitness and technique is step #1.
