In the 2022–2023 season, EBK’s women’s futsal team will play at the top level for the first time. In Finland, futsal is a relatively unknown yet growing sport. Even though many end up playing futsal via football, the number of players focusing on futsal keeps increasing. In futsal, the pace is faster than in football and the players must constantly be ready for transitions. Although the whole body is put to work, the most strain is put on the legs and feet. It is important for the players to be able to recover effectively during the long and intense season. Particular attention must be paid to recovery in double-match weeks, of which there are several per season.
“Our team is using Cloudboots Rogue recovery pants and boots in size L. As the height of our players falls between 160 and 180 cm, this combination is perfect for us. The recommended sizes are, after all, only indicative, and despite the variation in height, our players have not had any problems using both models. The batteries of the devices
last for several uses, so the devices are also suitable for shared use at away games. The need for recovery varies from user to user and day to day. The device caters for this by offering various programmes and pressure adjustment. Thanks to the eight separate pressure chambers, it is easy to only treat, for example, the calf instead of the whole leg.”
Players’ comments:
“The pants feel a bit like a massage! They are really easy to use, as I often wear them when watching TV, for example. They help my muscles relax and make me feel that I’m investing in my recovery.”
“They are easy to use and the programmes are easy to adjust according to your needs. It felt like having a gentle massage, and afterwards, my legs and feet felt relaxed.”
“Using Cloudboots was an interesting experience! There were various programmes to choose from, and even though it took some getting used to, the pants certainly helped me relax.”
“I’ve never tried anything like this, and this was a very pleasant experience. I’ve been playing for quite a while now, and year after year, it seems to take more and more time for me to recover, particularly after matches. I tested the boots on evenings after matches and felt much more springy the next day! Often after matches, my mind is also buzzing, but I felt surprisingly calm and relaxed after using the pants.”
