The team uses footwear with technology based on neuroscience; understand

Who saw the first images of the players of the Brazilian team in his presentation at the Comary Farmin Teresópolisnoticed a different detail right on the athletes’ feet. None of the traditional sports sneakers used on trips and meetings. Those called up appeared using a new model of footwear developed by the national team’s sporting equipment supplier based on studies of neuroscience, technology and body perception.

The model was designed especially to help athletes activate mental focus and emotional balance before and after competitions. The proposal is to make players feel calmer, more present and concentrated in moments of high physical and psychological demand, such as training, travel and decisive matches.

The technology used in the shoes has as its main difference the ability to stimulate sensory areas of the brain through the soles of the feet. The idea is to intensify the athlete’s body perception, connecting them to the present and expanding their physical and mental awareness. In a pressured environment like national team football, with the proximity of World cupsmall details linked to concentration and emotional control are treated as fundamental by the technical committee and performance departments.

The product is the result of more than ten years of research and engineering focused on sports performance and applied neuroscience. Each shoe has 22 independent foam capsules, attached to a flexible, water-resistant material. These capsules reproduce the sensation and even the texture of the ground underfoot. According to the developers, this interaction improves athletes’ body awareness, reduces distractions and increases concentration. The objective is to stimulate natural responses from the body and brain through contact with different pressures and sensory stimuli during walking.

The news caught attention as soon as the players arrived at the training camp. Selection in Teresópolis. Amid anticipation for the national team’s preparation, the new footwear was seen in photos released by the CBF on its social networks.

The Brazilian National Team players return to training this Thursday (28), at 11am, at Comary Farm. The activity is part of the team’s preparation for the World cup.
