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 …

Advancements in running shoe technology over the last 5 years have sparked controversy in
athletics as linked with clear running economy and performance enhancements. Early …

A carbon-fiber plate (CFP) embedded into running shoes is a commonly applied method to
improve running economy, but little is known in regard the effects of CFP design features on …

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 …

The primary footwear components of interest to improve performance are midsole material,
weight, and longitudinal bending stiffness. Little is known about the effects of varied …

Purpose: This study aimed to compare running economy across habituated and
nonhabituated advanced footwear technology (AFT) in trained long-distance runners …

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

The running biomechanics of unstable shoes have been well investigated, however, little is
known about how traditional neutral shoes in combination with unstable design elements …

Introduction Hamstring strain injury (HSI) remains a performance, economic, and player
availability burden in sport. High‐speed running (HSR) is cited as a common mechanism for …

Based on a previous study that demonstrated the beneficial effects of sonification on cycling
performance, this study investigated which kinematic and muscular activities were changed …
