Description It's time to keep women Stronger, Longer.
It's been proven that post-menopausal women lose up to 20% of their bone density within 5 years of their last menstrual cycle. This puts women at high risk for developing osteopenia and osteoporosis - leaving them at risk for stress fractures at the metatarsals and pelvis. Healthy exercise such as strength-training and cardio have been shown to increase bone density of athletes by letting impact forces strengthen the bones, thus reducing and delaying the skeletal impacts of menopause for women. But how do we prevent fractures while promoting bone growth?
Introducing the Cameron 24's, a cross-training shoe specifically designed for post-menopausal women. With revolutionary OsteoGel technology, we can control the amount of impact forces displaced across the metatarsals and promote healthy bone growth during controlled movements and reduce impact forces of sudden striking motions. Built in stability features like the motion control Amoeba Accelerant designed midsole and supportive heel lock design ensure every athlete feels confident and comfortable. With no-tie laces, this shoe is accessibly designed for women of any age!
Innovation Using a shear-thinning liquid of my own creation dubbed OsteoGel, we can create a force absorbing pouch to as as both a lifting base and support midsole technology. This gel-like substance firms up upon sudden impacts, such as falls or rigorous foot striking, and is fluid during constant slow pressure - such as squats and other lifting exercises. This is so that healthy amounts of force are released onto the metatarsals during exercise and reduces the risk of stress-fractures in post-menopausal women.
