It can measure all of the activity’s parameters, pedalling time and angle, cadence, distance and speed. According to Digitsole, accuracy is ‘unmatched’, each movement is detected, measured, analysed and commented to improve sportspeople’s performances.

The Run Profiler insoles also allow cyclists to adjust their bike’s settings to best suit their needs and objectives.
