Understanding ABS Hero
What We Measure. What You're Matched To.

Absorb. Bounce. Stability. The pillars of healthy running.

We score how your body handles impact, returns energy, and stays in control. Then we match you to footwear that fills in the gaps. It's how we help you run longer, faster, and with less strain.

Let's start with the body

Every runner has strengths and gaps. We test for both.

Your Performance Score shows how your body handles impact (Absorb), returns energy (Bounce), and stays stable through movement (Stability). We assess this through controlled strength and movement tests, treadmill footage, and force analysis.

Absorb assessmentBounce assessmentStability assessment
How well your joints and muscles reduce impact. If you lack shock absorption, you’re more likely to feel soreness after long runs or struggle to recover quickly.
How much force your body can create and transfer forward. If your Bounce score is low, you might feel sluggish or unable to pick up speed when needed.
How well you control your movement and stay aligned. Weakness here often shows up as fatigue late in a run, or compensation in the hips, knees, or ankles.

Footwear that fills in the missing pieces

Every Shoe, Simplified To Absorb, Bounce, And Stability.

Brands use different names like Nike ZoomX or adidas Lightstrike Pro. We simplify it to Absorb, Bounce, and Stability, based on what the shoe actually does: shock absorption, energy return, and control. We match you to what your body needs, not just what feels good.

The Right Balance

The Right Mix Of Absorb, Bounce, And Stability.

Most runners aren’t balanced across all three. That’s what holds them back from hitting their running goals. We show you which ones matter most for your goal, then help you close the gap.

Endurance and efficiency

You'll need strong Absorb and Stability scores. Long runs expose weakness in impact reduction and form control.
