What physical differences will I feel when using the ShoePlate ELITE?
Changes to your mechanics mean your body will adapt over time to slightly different muscle use and different ranges of joint motion. Any physical responses will generally be short lived and will be consistent with the physical changes you would normally feel after a rigging change. Changing the rig (of your boat or your body) means you will move in a slightly different way and your body may take a short time to adapt to this change. Remember that changing your mechanics, will likely feel different and unfamiliar for a while. If you are in doubt about set-up, revisit the set-up steps, paying particular attention to the angle of your footboard and foot height. Always discuss rigging changes with your coach and of course, if you find your rowing stroke gives you persistent discomfort, consult your healthcare professional.
