Los mismos expertos que analizan el movimiento y la mec\u00e1nica del pie pueden desarrollar plantillas personalizadas para deportistas de \u00e9lite directamente a partir de los datos. \u00bfLa prueba? Est\u00e1 en uno de los muchos ejemplos destacados: el equipo fabric\u00f3 una suela para el atleta de PUMA Neymar Jr. en un plazo de tiempo excepcionalmente ajustado, asegur\u00e1ndose de que estuviera totalmente preparado para el partido.

Para acercar las pruebas a las condiciones reales de rendimiento, las instalaciones incluyen una pista de atletismo cubierta de aproximadamente 60 metros, que permite a los atletas acelerar adecuadamente y alcanzar altas velocidades en un entorno de pruebas controlado. Adem\u00e1s, hay una zona dedicada a la superficie de hierba que simula un campo de f\u00fatbol, lo que garantiza que las botas de f\u00fatbol puedan probarse en condiciones de superficie aut\u00e9nticas.\u00a0<br><br>La instalaci\u00f3n se ha ampliado recientemente con estaciones de pruebas HYROX espec\u00edficas para recopilar datos que reflejen las exigencias \u00fanicas de las carreras de fitness funcional.

Gran parte de estas pruebas se realizan en una cinta de correr que alcanza velocidades de hasta 30 km\/h, lo que permite analizar el movimiento en condiciones de alta velocidad controladas y repetibles. De este modo, los expertos pueden detectar detalles que a menudo son invisibles a simple vista, como una zancada irregular, una pierna que trabaja m\u00e1s que la otra o m\u00fasculos que consumen m\u00e1s energ\u00eda de la necesaria.\u00a0<br><br>Las conclusiones pueden ser muy pr\u00e1cticas. Si la pantorrilla izquierda de un corredor trabaja m\u00e1s que la derecha, el equipo puede detectar el desequilibrio a tiempo y recomendar cambios en el calzado, las plantillas o el entrenamiento. Si un atleta empieza a perder potencia al final de una sesi\u00f3n, los datos tambi\u00e9n pueden mostrar qu\u00e9 m\u00fasculos se cansan primero. Al comprender tanto el movimiento como la actividad muscular, esto puede ayudar a los atletas a correr de forma m\u00e1s eficiente, rendir mejor y reducir el riesgo de lesiones.<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row image multi 1 -->\n<div class=\"row rowImages2b spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5003663003663  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Puma_Nitro-Lab_Analysis-Activation_1.webp'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 50%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5025678650037  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Puma_Nitro-Lab_Analysis-Activation_2.webp'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 50%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0  ; background-image: url(''); background-size: cover;background-position: 0% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_default\" ><h2>Pruebas de econom\u00eda de marcha\u00a0<\/h2>Puede que te sorprenda saber que la medici\u00f3n de los niveles de ox\u00edgeno es una parte clave del proceso de innovaci\u00f3n del calzado de PUMA.

To bring testing closer to real performance conditions, the facility includes an indoor running track of approximately 60 metres, allowing athletes to accelerate properly and reach high speeds within a controlled testing environment. In addition, there is a dedicated grass-surface area which simulates a football field, ensuring football boots can be tested under authentic surface conditions.\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;The setup has recently been expanded with dedicated HYROX testing stations to gather data reflecting the unique demands of functional fitness racing.

The stations include a sled push and pull station, as these movements place very different stresses on the body and require footwear that is optimized for grip and power transfer under load.\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;Together, this biomechanical setup helps answer key questions such as which shoe best supports an athlete\\u0026rsquo;s performance, where pressure hotspots occur inside the shoe, and how fit or insole adjustments can improve efficiency and comfort.\",\"className\":\"\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"style\":\"default\",\"firstletter\":\"\",\"gradient\":\"none\",\"spacing\":true,\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:puma\/row-image-multi {\"style\":\"2b\",\"images\":[{\"id\":188599},{\"id\":188600},{\"id\":\"placeholder\"}],\"className\":\"\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"headlines\":[],\"captions\":[],\"showCaptions\":[],\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:puma\/row-image-multi {\"style\":\"2b\",\"images\":[{\"id\":188596},{\"id\":188601},{\"id\":\"placeholder\"}],\"className\":\"\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"headlines\":[],\"captions\":[],\"showCaptions\":[],\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;h2\\u0026gt;Motion Analysis \\u0026amp;amp; Muscle Activation\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;\/h2\\u0026gt;Using high-speed cameras, 3D sensors and muscle-monitoring technology, the NITRO LAB can see how an athlete moves and how their body works with every step. Much of this testing takes place on a treadmill that reaches speeds of up to 30 km\/h, allowing the analysis of movement in controlled, repeatable high-speed conditions. With this, experts can spot details that are often invisible to the naked eye, such as an uneven stride, one leg working harder than the other or muscles that are using more energy than they need to.\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;The insights can be highly practical. If a runner\\u0026rsquo;s left calf is doing more work than the right, the team can identify the imbalance early and recommend changes in footwear, insoles or training. If an athlete begins to lose power late in a session, the data can also show which muscles are tiring first. By understanding both movement and muscle activity, this can help athletes run more efficiently, perform better and reduce injury risk.\",\"className\":\"\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"style\":\"default\",\"firstletter\":\"\",\"gradient\":\"none\",\"spacing\":true,\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:puma\/row-image-multi {\"style\":\"2b\",\"images\":[{\"id\":188597},{\"id\":188598},{\"id\":\"placeholder\"}],\"className\":\"\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"headlines\":[],\"captions\":[],\"showCaptions\":[],\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;h2\\u0026gt;Running Economy Testing\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;\/h2\\u0026gt;You might be surprised to know that measuring oxygen levels is a key part of PUMA\\u0026rsquo;s footwear innovation process.\\u0026nbsp;One of the most powerful tools in the NITRO\\u0026nbsp;LAB\\u0026nbsp;measures how efficiently an athlete uses energy while running.\\u0026nbsp;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\\u0026gt;Wearing a performance mask, athletes\\u0026rsquo; oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output are analysed while they run in different shoe models.
