Vibram Five Fingers

Vibram Five Fingers - KomodoSport

With today's athlete in mind, Vibram FiveFingers® has raised the intensity with the Vibram FiveFingers® KomodoSport.

This aggressive multisport design inherits what we love about the KSO with functional improvements that appeal to the most active fitness enthusiast.

For the first time ever, Vibram® introduces a stitch-free, seamless 3mm foot bed to reduce friction. Heel and instep hook-and-loop closures help secure the stretch nylon upper to the contours of your foot-just like a second skin. The KomodoSport wouldn't be complete without a 4mm Vibram® TC1 performance rubber out sole which provides the grip and protection you need for a variety of cross training activities.

Even better than its predecessor
After studying wear patterns on thousands of test shoes, XT-900 rubber was strategically added to parts of the outsole for enhanced durability.
The outsole is bevelled to achieve an even smoother transition.
Lightweight yet strong, FLEXIFILM Technology in the upper secures the foot on the platform throughout the gait cycle.
4mm heel to toe offset encourages a more balanced, powerful running form.

Cardiac Risk

England Athletics, UKA and the other home country governing bodies are alert to our responsibilities to all participants in athletics in respect of all aspects of health and safety. One particular area that young athletes and their parents must be aware of is the risk of cardiac problems.

There have been instances of young athletes suffering potentially fatal heart conditions without being aware that they are at risk.

England Athletics would like to make you aware of a piece of work that has been undertaken by UKA. UKA has worked with Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) for several years, providing a screening service to athletes on the World Class Performance Programme. UKA and CRY are now seeking to encourage more athletes to use CRY’s screening service to help to identify any cardiac problems that may be otherwise hidden.

CRY is a charity that was established to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to the sudden cardiac death of young people. They operate a screening programme at a number of clinics around the UK and support this with mobile units that travel to other locations. Full information about CRY and their services can be found on their website at;

 www.c-r-y.org.uk. Young people between the age of 14 and 35 who would like to have cardiac testing can go to www.testmyheart.org. You can also see www.uka.org.uk/governance/health-safety/cardiac-screening-for-athletes/ for information on work being done by UKA in this area.
