Background Lower‐limb running injuries are common. Running shoes have been proposed
as one means of reducing injury risk. However, there is uncertainty as to how effective …

Background: Minimalist shoes have been popularized as a safe alternative to conventional
running shoes. However, a paucity of research is available investigating the longer-term …

ABSTRACT VERCRUYSSEN, F., M. TARTARUGA, N. HORVAIS, and J. BRISSWALTER.
Effects of Footwear and Fatigue on Running Economy and Biomechanics in Trail Runners …

This study investigated whether male runners improve running performance, running
economy, ankle plantar flexor strength, and alter running biomechanics and lower limb bone …

While post-exercise heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) has been shown to increase in
response to training leading to improvements in performance, the effect of training leading to …

Objectives This study investigated if gradually introducing runners to minimalist shoes
during training improved running economy and time-trial performance compared to training …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of barefoot running on initial loading rate
(LR), lower extremity joint kinematics and kinetics, and neuromuscular control in habitually …

Footwear properties can influence physiological and biomechanical variables, which may
lead to positive changes in distance running performance. One innovative development in …

The use of minimalist shoes can lead to enhanced foot somatosensory activation and
postural stability but can also increase the incidence of overuse injuries during high-impact …

Purpose: Correlations between fatigue-induced changes in exercise performance and
maximal rate of heart rate (HR) increase (rHRI) may be affected by exercise intensity during …
