Abstract
This project explores a new area of performance shoes aimed
for one of the fastest growing sports today - HYROX. The goal
for this project is to design a Hyrox specific racing shoe that
combine properties for running with functional training. The
project focus on the performance aspects of the shoe as well as
expressing the identity of the sport. Research involve interviews
with high level Hyrox competitors, knowledge from a physiother-
apist and survey answers from members of a Hyrox club. The
function analysis conclude three main features that is needed
in a Hyrox shoe - speed for running, stability for functional exer-
cises and grip for all surfaces.
Abstract (Swedish)
Detta projekt utforskar en ny kategori av funktionella sportskor,
anpassade för en av de snabbast växande sporterna idag - HY-
ROX. Målet med projektet är att designa en tävlingsko för Hyrox
som kombinerar egenskaper för löpning med funktionell träning.
Projektet fokuserar både på de funktionella aspekterna i skon
och att utrycka sportens identitet i designen. Förstudien inkluder-
ar intervjuer med Hyrox atleter, kunskap från en physiotherapist
och en undersökning med deltagare från en Hyrox klubb. Funk-
tionsanalysen konkluderar tre huvudegenskaper som är nödvän-
diga i en sko för Hyrox, vilket inkluderar: fart för löpning, stabilitet
för funktionella övningar och grepp för samtliga underlag.
