This study aimed to address the effects of increased longitudinal bending stiffness (LBS) on
running economy (RE) and running biomechanics. A systematic search on four electronic …

Foot and ankle joints are complicated anatomical structures that combine the tibiotalar and
subtalar joints. They play an extremely important role in walking, running, jumping and other …

In recent editorials of the British Journal of Sports Medicine (Burns & Tam, 2020) and
Footwear Science (Frederick, 2020; Hoogkamer, 2020), the effect of midsole construction on …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the independent effect of the curved carbon-fiber
plate in the Nike Vaporfly 4% shoe on running economy and running biomechanics …

In recent years, increasing the midsole bending stiffness (MBS) of running shoes by
embedding carbon fibre plates in the midsole resulted in many world records set during long …

Developing the ability to habitually walk and run upright on two feet is one of the most
significant transformations to have occurred in human evolution. Many musculoskeletal …

There is extreme interest surrounding the influence of advanced running footwear on
running performance. The magnitude, timing, and location of mechanical energy storage …

Purpose This study aimed to investigate if changing the midsole bending stiffness of athletic
footwear can affect the onset of lower limb joint work redistribution during a prolonged run …

Background: Running shoes with carbon plates have been identified to have positive effects
on improving running performance from a biomechanical perspective. However, the specific …

Although most features of modern footwear have been intensively studied, there has been
almost no research on the effects of toe springs. This nearly ubiquitous upward curvature of …
