Does Strike Patterns or Shoe Conditions Have Greater Influence on Running Impact

چکیده
The aim of this study was to explore whether strike patterns or shoe conditions have significant influence on running impact and plantar pressure. A total of 12 healthy male volunteers were requested to run under shod and barefoot conditions with heel and forefoot strike to complete 3 trials for each condition. Kinetic data were recorded during the experiment. For ground reaction force, shod run with heel strike significantly reduces the maximum load rate and extends the time to reach the peak of impact force. For plantar pressure, strike patterns have a significant influence on plantar pressure. When sports shoes are used, pressure on forefoot strike is less than that on heel strike, and a greater push-off force can be obtained relative to the barefoot. Thus, a suitable pair of sports shoes is needed for toe–toe running to reduce risk of injury and improve performance.

Lower extremity biomechanical relationships with different speeds in traditional, minimalist, and barefoot footwear.
Minimalist running footwear has grown increasingly popular. Prior studies that have compared lower extremity biomechanics in minimalist running to traditional running conditions are largely limited to a single running velocity. This study compares the effects of running at various speeds on foot strike pattern, stride length, knee angles and ankle angles in traditional, barefoot, and minimalist...
متن کاملAn Explanation of the Influence on Deciding which Type of Foot Strike to Use when Running Barefoot or in Minimalistic Shoes.
Buying minimalistic shoes does not mean that you know how to use them. Salespersons are rarely competent to give adequate advice how to transition to new shoes. The same happens when someone chooses to run barefoot. So, the aim of the present experiment was to find out whether giving or not giving an explanation of the correct technique of foot placement in barefoot running and running in a min...
متن کاملChanges in running kinematics and kinetics in response to a rockered shoe intervention.
BACKGROUND A suggested link between ambulatory mechanics and injury development has resulted in significant interest the development of footwear to change locomotion patterns. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that there will be significant changes in the kinematics and kinetics at the ankle and minimal changes at the knee and hip in the mechanics of running in a shoe with a ...
متن کاملAcute 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 ...
متن کاملEffects of footwear and strike type on running economy.
PURPOSE This study tests if running economy differs in minimal shoes versus standard running shoes with cushioned elevated heels and arch supports and in forefoot versus rearfoot strike gaits. METHODS We measured the cost of transport (mL O(2)·kg(-1)·m(-1)) in subjects who habitually run in minimal shoes or barefoot while they were running at 3.0 m·s(-1) on a treadmill during forefoot and rea...
