Elevated impact loading can be detrimental to runners as it has been linked to the increased
risk of tibial stress fracture and plantar fasciitis. The objective of this study was to investigate …

Identification of runner's performance level is critical to coaching, performance enhancement
and injury prevention. Machine learning techniques have been developed to measure …

Running-related injuries have been associated with excessive foot pronation and high
vertical loading rates. Traditional plaster-molded (TPM) foot orthoses are commonly …

A new model of running shoes which features an extreme cushioning and an oversized
midsole, known as the maximalist (MAX) was launched. This design claims to provide …

Biomechanical alterations with graded running have only been partially quantified, and the
potential interactions with running speed remain unclear. We measured spatiotemporal …

Background Overuse running injury susceptibility has previously been associated with the
magnitude and slope of ground reaction force profiles, most often in the vertical axis …

This study aims to analyze and summarize the biomechanical (kinematics, kinetics and
neuromuscular) differences between shod and barefoot running, through a literature review …

Background Tibial stress fracture is a common injury in runners. This condition has been
associated with increased impact loading. Since vertical loading rates are related to the …

Compared to competitive runners, recreational runners appear to be more prone to injuries,
which have been associated with foot strike patterns. Surprisingly, only few studies had …

Background High average (VALR) and instantaneous vertical loading rates (VILR) during
impact have been associated with many running-related injuries. Peak acceleration (PA) …
