Biomechanical analysis of marathon shoes applied to NESTFIT technology

The purpose of this study was to analyze foot pressure distribution of marathon shoes to which NESTFIT Technology was applied. As for marathon, shoes play a vital role in shortening records. However, they also might become a main factor of injury during longdistance running. This study will examine foot pressure distribution effects of marathon shoes during longdistance running, which have been developed by measuring Korean shoe lasts. The methods of this study can be explained as below. Firstly, ten healthy males were picked as subjects to participate in this study. 10 healthy male subjects with an average age of 22.3 years (SD=0.5), weight of 71.5 kg (SD=6.0) and height of 173.1 cm (SD=4.3) were recruited for this study. Secondly, the one equipment used for the study consist of a foot pressure device from Pedar-X, Germany and a treadmill from Pulse fitness, UK. Thirdly, the testing procedures involve each subject to test three different shoes by having running trials on a treadmill at a constant speed of 12.0km/hour. The pressure distribution data (contact area, maximum force, maximum peak pressure, maximum mean pressure)
