The Masai barefoot technology (short MBT) is the name for footwear, which the manufacturer rather as a because when understood wants to know a shoe.
By a rounded off and purposefully softly and "wabbelig "made shoe floor construction of the MBT shoe loses the foot the stop and support marking for a physiological progressive movement. That affects large parts of the skeletal musculature, because the body must be kept active now in the equilibrium, so that the carrier of these special shoes does not fall. Through carry the MBT_Schuhe thus a kind co-ordination training one completes. Because the unphysiologische course of motion out-looks differently, running with MBT shoes is called "Rolltraben ".
Investigations show the fact that apart from a reduction of the joint load in the knee joint, altogether the energy consumption pro gangs rises because many muscles (above all leg, belly and back musculature) is active. This leads to a stabilization of these groups of muscles and thus to a joint discharge.
Altogether MBT shoes are very disputed. MBT shoes are endorsed particularly by their salesmen. Those, due to the increased and unstable emphasis, stronger danger of injury it is referred to, and given by the opponents to doubts that also without such shoes, simply by a healthy sporty manipulation, comparable positive effects are reached. One criticizes by the shoes forced unnatural course samples. Also the Schuhkima, similarly as with other shoes this quality class, is not due to the blocked materials good. The shoes are manufactured in the Far East, which raises further questions regarding the social and conditions pertaining to labour law, and criticism from reasons of environmental protection draws. Also no improvement of the co-ordination ability is to be noticed by the employment of these shoes: That resulted in a sport-medical investigation of the University of which tried to find out in the year 2003, whether an improvement of the co-ordination ability was to be determined after a neuromusklaren training, if an experimental group with MBT shoes and one trained without MBT shoes.

Due to the instability of the course and standing caused intentionally by the shoes, the carrier puts the torso up reflektorisch, in order to keep the emphasis as perpendicular as possible over the appearance place, because otherwise a threatens. This upright attitude of the torso, which is characteristic among other things also of the Kenyan race of the Masai, led to the word "Masai" in the naming.
The word barefoot is however misleading, because this footwear causes the exact opposite of the barefoot going. Due to foot skeleton with his many joint surfaces and muscles, consisting of 26 bones, humans are able by a propriozeptive perception of the underground to adjust and thus balance finest unevenness alone with the feet perfectly, without which the remaining body is for this needed. The Masai is for this a good example, because this trunk fportbewegt itself barefoot. The exact opposite causes however the soft and convex shoe soil of the MBT shoes: The Propriozeption is disturbed, the safe conditions are prevented.
The inventor of the system, that Swiss engineer Karl Mueller, had back problems, which he could improve with an Asia stay by regular walking on that extremely soft soils of the rice fields. Thus lively, he developed a shoe, the hard for itself, to yield even soils "uneven "soils made. The prototype following from it led 1996 to the commercial marketing.
This first shoe generation did not have a paragraph, whereby the carrier was forced to a In the year 2000 followed the second generation, which filled "the gap "under the heel with a rounded off foam material wedge. Thus the shoe did not have no more a completely so exotic appearance. 2004 came finally the third generation, at which the thickness of the sole was noticeably reduced. If the preceding generations worked still klobig and were remarkable thereby, this does not apply to this generation.
In June 2004 Mueller sold the majority of the enterprise to a group of investors around the former Austrian ski running driver Klaus Heidegger. Mueller holds still for instance a third of the portions of the company as well as some patents. The company busily zirka 100 persons, of it 20 coworkers at the head office of the enterprise is in the Thurgaui Roggwil.
These shoes are called of the manufacturer ", that can work against by a reinforcement of the jointnear musculature one-sided overloading and spannings preventing.
