Effect of Minimalist Shoe Heel Height on Foot Strike Pattern in Running
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of foot strike pattern (FSP) adaptations to a minimalist shoe among the different heel height in running. We found that the strike index (SI) and foot strike angle (FSA) were systematically affected by changes in heel height. We also observed a linear correlation between FSA and SI. However, no changes in initial foot angle (IFA) were found during running despite the differences among shoe heel heights.

Acute effect of different minimalist shoes on foot strike pattern and kinematics in rearfoot strikers during running.
Despite the growing interest in minimalist shoes, no studies have compared the efficacy of different types of minimalist shoe models in reproducing barefoot running patterns and in eliciting biomechanical changes that make them differ from standard cushioned running shoes. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of different footwear models, marketed as "minimalist" by their ...

CHICAGO — Many of today's running shoes feature a heavy cushioned heel. New research presented today at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) found that these shoes may alter an adolescent runner's biomechanics (the forces exerted by muscles and gravity on the skeletal structure) and diminish performance. Researchers recruited 12 adolescent competitive a...
متن کاملHeel strike angle and foot angular velocity in the sagittal plane during running in different shoe conditions
In this study, alterations of heel strike angle (HSA) and plantarflexion velocity (PFV) in the sagittal plane due to wearing different shoe conditions was examined. By this, adaptation in running style as a mechanism of shock attenuation should be investigated. Methods Twenty-four male, injury-free recreational runners (age: 24.8 ± 2.5 years, height: 177.7 ± 5.8 cm, weight: 73.1 ± 7.1 kg) parti...
متن کاملEffect of Minimalist Footwear on Running Efficiency
Humans have been running for millions of years, but the modern running shoe was not invented until the 1970s. However, in the span of just 4 decades, this novel type of footwear with a heavily cushioned, elevated heel; arch support; and a stiffened midsole (“traditional shoe”) has altered running biomechanics and changed the way people run. Investigators contend that because of this shift to tr...
متن کاملFoot-strike pattern and performance in a marathon.
PURPOSE To determine prevalence of heel strike in a midsize city marathon, if there is an association between foot-strike classification and race performance, and if there is an association between foot-strike classification and gender. METHODS Foot-strike classification (forefoot, midfoot, heel, or split strike), gender, and rank (position in race) were recorded at the 8.1-km mark for 2112 r...
