GREEN-WHITE MANNHEIM DISCOVERS INNOVATIVE INSOLE TECHNOLOGY
Game, set and match with TRIactive, 08/22/2006
Green-White Mannheim is one of the best professional teams in the national tennis league. Last year the team won the German championship under trainer Gerald Marzenell; team members include top players of the ATP such as Rainer Schüttler, Lars Burgsmüller and Alexander Popp. Recently the team received 3 zone insoles for the players from Bauerfeind. These insoles were specially developed for ball sports.
As one of the top players for Green-White, Daniel Elsner received TRIactive from Bauerfeind. As one of the starters for the team, he quickly became a fan favorite. After one week of training with TRIactive he wore the insoles for the last home game of the season – and he won convincingly in 2 sets with 6:4 and 6:0. “It was all because of the insoles,” he joked after the match. “I have a good, secure feeling while wearing them.” TRIactive provides good stabilization and direction for the foot in the shoe.
In addition to Daniel Elsner, four other top players from Green-White wear the innovative insoles from Bauerfeind: Lars Burgsmüller, Boris Pashanski, Vasilis Mazarakis and Daniel Müller. A total of ten pros on the Mannheim team are currently outfitted with Bauerfeind products. The medical advocate for TRIactive is team physician Dr. Ralf Wissenbach. A passionate tennis player himself, he tested the insoles and found them to be favorable. He then went on to convince Dietmar Pohlmann, chairman of Green-White. A day after the last home game in Mannheim he paid a visit to the medical retailer Hagenauer in Plankstadt for a foot pressure diagnostic and a few pairs of insoles for his tennis shoes.
TRIactiveplay supports the foot, particularly during stop and turning movements that occur during ball sports. The insole is also available in 2 other versions: TRIactiverun for running sports and TRIactivewalk for everyday, work, hiking, walking and trekking. Like the motto “Anytime is good to walk” this new insole concept from Bauerfeind supports physical abilities and increases foot comfort.
