FELDSPAR TAKES MAJOR STEP TOWARDS CREATING WORLD'S FASTEST AND SMARTEST RUNNING TRACK
In elite athletics, where even a 2-4% gain can make a visible and measurable difference in performance, this breakthrough has the potential to represent a major performance advantage.
Feldspar's innovative energy conversion technology helps athletes run faster while using less power. At the same time, they experience reduced impact on their body, enabling them to focus on technique rather than raw power. Further, the technology also contributes to lowering their fatigue and minimising injury risk, ultimately supporting longer, more sustainable seasons.
Early tests with some of the UK's most promising young athletes have demonstrated clear benefits: increased speed, improved propulsion and reduced fatigue. These gains translate into more efficient movement, longer and more intensive training sessions, and better endurance during high-intensity sprints.
For the first time, the Feldspar prototype will capture real-time performance metrics cost-effectively, including stride length, foot placement, and direct force measurement from athlete footsteps, making live and scalable data collection possible.
Integrated seamlessly into a cloud-based analytics system, the track delivers instant feedback loops to athletes and coaches, optimising strategies from injury foresight and prevention to maximising training efficiency. By democratising these world-class insights, Feldspar is making them accessible to everyone – not just elite athletes – and providing an entirely new layer of engagement for fans and broadcasters at live sports events.
Unlike traditional tracks, Feldspar's modular design enables a faster and more cost-effective deployment, giving sports event organisers a dynamic, portable solution that can be installed in different locations with greater efficiency than ever before.
Following the successful completion of its prototype, Feldspar is now accelerating development to bring this groundbreaking sports flooring technology to market. The company is actively engaging with industry partners, governing bodies, sports federations and clubs, to explore commercial applications of its product.
