Running economy (RE) has a strong relationship with running performance, and modifiable
running biomechanics are a determining factor of RE. The purposes of this review were to …

In the wake of the quest to break the 2-h marathon barrier, carbon-fiber plates have become
commonplace in marathon racing shoes. Despite the controversy surrounding this shoe …

Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes developing
devices that assist both gaits challenging. We show that a portable exosuit that assists hip …

Background Reducing the energetic cost of running seems the most feasible path to a sub-2-
hour marathon. Footwear mass, cushioning, and bending stiffness each affect the energetic …

Purpose: Our goal was to quantify if small (1-3%) changes in running economy quantitatively
affect distance-running performance. Based on the linear relationship between metabolic …

Background We have shown that a prototype marathon racing shoe reduced the metabolic
cost of running for all 18 participants in our sample by an average of 4%, compared to two …

Background While minimalist running shoes may have an influence on running
biomechanics and on the incidence of overuse injuries, the term" minimalist" is currently …

Purpose We compared running economy (RE) and 3-km time-trial (TT) variables of runners
wearing Nike Vaporfly 4%(VP4), Saucony Endorphin lightweight racing flats (FLAT), and …

Background Running economy represents a complex interplay of physiological and
biomechanical factors that are able to adapt chronically through training, or acutely through …

The choice of marathon racing shoes can greatly affect performance. The purpose of this
study is to metabolically and mechanically compare the consumer version of the Nike …
