Former Big Red gymnast Alison Sheets-Singer \u201900 is the lead scientist on Nike\u2019s Project Amplify powered footwear system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Melissa Newcomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Alison Sheets-Singer \u201900 swung on the uneven bars as a competitive gymnast, she wasn\u2019t just concentrating on her routine\u2014she was thinking about the physics that make it possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her childhood coach, who held a doctorate in physics, had taught his athletes about the science behind every swing, flip, and landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI always had this idea that sport, science, and engineering just lived together,\u201d says the former Big Red gymnast and mechanical engineering major. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I could understand physics, then I could become a better athlete because of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That idea never left her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After earning a PhD in mechanical engineering from UC Davis, where she studied human movement, Sheets-Singer ultimately joined global sports gear and apparel giant Nike.<\/p>\n<\/div>

She\u2019s currently the lead scientist for the company\u2019s Project Amplify<\/a>\u2014the world\u2019s first powered footwear system for walking and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can think about it like having an extra set of calf muscles that are powered by batteries to help propel you along,\u201d Sheets-Singer explains of the system, which is expected to launch commercially in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a typical sneaker, Project Amplify footwear extends up the lower leg. The three main components\u2014a carbon-plated shoe, motor, and battery pack\u2014are connected via a lightweight titanium frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rechargeable battery is housed in a cuff that wraps around the calf and connects to the motor, which is mounted on the outside of the leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the motor, the frame attaches to a shoe that is reinforced with a carbon-fiber plate throughout the sole. When the motor pulls upward on the heel, the stiff plate transfers that force forward, pushing down on the toe and driving the wearer into the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like an e-bike for your feet,\u201d says Sheets-Singer, whose title is senior principal researcher, innovation. \u201cYou feel a nudge as you\u2019re pushing off the ground on each step, and that nudge propels you into your next step\u2014which means your calves have to do a little bit less, because it\u2019s doing a bit more for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology is not designed as a medical device for people with mobility impairments, nor is it intended to help elite competitors gain an advantage on race day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, its target audience is what Nike calls the \u201ceveryday athlete\u201d\u2014people who want to walk or run for longer and faster. That could mean someone exploring a city on foot, or a recreational runner training for their first 5K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while it it\u2019s also not intended for collegiate competitors, Sheets-Singer can envision uses for students away from the field of play\u2014perhaps especially at her alma mater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCornellians have to make it up the Slope every day,\u201d she says with a laugh. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCampuses are huge. Athletes could wear this during the day and then have more to give for their practices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because no two people walk exactly alike, the system is designed to learn each user\u2019s stride and tailor its assistance based on such factors as speed and ankle movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

You can think about it like having an extra set of calf muscles that are powered by batteries to help propel you along.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

An optional app will allow users to further customize the experience by adjusting the level of assistance and selecting various running modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the project\u2019s lead scientist, Sheets-Singer has overseen more than 50 experiments to refine how the technology looks, feels, and performs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, early versions placed the motor and batteries on the outside of the leg, but testing revealed that users felt a twisting sensation when walking; creating a flexible battery that spreads the weight around the leg made for a natural gait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Amplify is the latest innovation that Sheets-Singer\u2014who was recently honored as one of the leading women sports innovators<\/a> inspiring youth to enter STEM careers\u2014has helped bring to life during her 14 years at Nike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the project\u2019s lead scientist, Sheets-Singer has overseen more than 50 experiments to refine how the technology looks, feels, and performs.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Others include the Flyknit soccer boot<\/a>, a unique knitted cleat introduced ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of her work, she says, has been guided by a fundamental question: \u201cWhat technologies can we bring to the athlete to help them achieve their goals?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheets-Singer has also served as the lead researcher for Nike\u2019s Innovation Kitchen, a team focused on next-generation ideas and emerging technologies\u2014where Project Amplify originated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Nike works on a product like this,\u201d she says, \u201cwhere it can go and whom it can reach really blows my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
