Abstract: Athletic performance relies heavily on how the foot makes contact with the ground during movement. Most traditional methods of measuring this involve lab equipment, which can feel unnatural and restrict testing to controlled environments. This project introduces RUCK SOLE X, a smart insole designed to track foot biomechanics during actual training and competition.

The insole is flexible, comfortable, and made for long-term use. It combines pressure, motion, temperature, and moisture sensors to gather detailed foot data without interrupting the athlete. An embedded controller processes this information in real time, instantly identifying gait events and load patterns, even without constant internet access. For deeper insights, long-term data is analyzed in the cloud to identify unusual movement patterns and potential injury risks.

All results are shown through a mobile app with clear, easy-to-read visuals, helping athletes and coaches quickly grasp what’s happening with their feet. Testing indicates the system delivers reliable performance and fast feedback, working well in real-world training settings. Its adaptable design fits many types of athletic shoes, making it suitable for various sports.

Regular firmware updates enhance accuracy over time. The collected data helps coaches and sports scientists refine training plans, lower injury risks, and personalize performance improvements. Overall, RUCK SOLE X represents a significant advance in wearable sports technology.
