Background Running participation continues to increase. The ideal strike pattern during
running is a controversial topic. Many coaches and therapists promote non-rearfoot strike …

Some of the earliest biomechanics research focused on running and the ground reaction
forces generated with each step. Research in running gait accelerated in the 1970′ s as …

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is among the most common injuries in recreational runners.
Current evidence does not identify alignment, muscle weakness, and patellar maltracking or …

Background Excessive vertical impacts at landing are associated with common running
injuries. Two primary gait-retraining interventions aimed at reducing impact forces are …

Background: Previous studies have shown that changing acutely from shod to barefoot
running induces several changes to running biomechanics, such as altered ankle …

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

Shoe manufacturers launch running shoes with increased (eg, maximalists) or decreased
(eg, minimalists) midsole thickness and claim that they may prevent running injury. Previous …

We conducted an exploratory analysis to compare running kinematics of 16 male
recreational runners wearing Nike Vaporfly 4%(VP4), Saucony Endorphin racing flat (FLAT) …

Local dynamic running stability is the ability of a dynamic system to compensate for small
perturbations during running. While the immediate effects of footwear on running …

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