A Re-examination of the Measurement of Foot Strike Mechanics During Running: The Immediate Effect of Footwear Midsole Thickness
Purpose: Midsole cushioning thickness (MT) is a key component of running footwear that may influence the stiffness setting of the joints, p…
The Coupling of Stride Length and Foot Strike in Running
Modifying stride length and/or foot strike in running results in mechanical alterations associated with injury risk. Stride length and foot…
Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort
We determined whether fatigue modifies the effect of custom foot orthoses manufactured from ethyl-vinyl acetate (EVA) and expanded thermopl…
Thigh Muscularity and Sprinting Performance of National‐Level Long‐Distance Runners
