Abstract

Purpose: This study explored how variations in the curvature of carbon fibre plates embedded in running shoes affect gait symmetry of the lower limbs in well-trained long-distance runners. Methods: Sixteen well-trained runners participated in biomechanical testing under two shoe conditions...
