The plate doesn't propel you forward, the foam does. The plate helps you compress the foam better. Also the plates does some more things but I guess that was the purpose of the video and they are not mentioned.
It's extremely motivating to hear that a weight of 65 kg seems to have an optimal effect on the carbon shoes, as my competition weight is between 62.5 and 64.5 for long distances🎉. However, at 1.70m I am 10 cm shorter and I would be surprised how much the vertical oscillation correlates in this regard😊. On a marathon distance you benefit from a little more weight in the first half and in the second half it becomes more difficult to oxygenate the muscles with more mass. Thanks to Nike carbon shoes, I was able to run 10 km in under 40 minutes after the third attempt, something I hadn't been able to do for five years before 🚀...
I haven’t read anything about height playing a factor in the effect of the carbon shoes so I have no idea how much that could possibly play a role. But I’m very glad to hear they had a big effect on your running times 😊
@@matsholvoet According to my previous research, the running economy (measured in Vo2 max on the treadmill) improves by an average of 3% with Nike Carbon shoes and the better the user's running economy, the less help the shoe provides (1-2%).

Had to translate this via google translate 😅 but no Portugese roots for me. I live in Belgium and speak Dutch as a native language 😊
