Isolated Effects Of Footwear Structure And Cushioning On Running Mechanics In Habitual Mid/Forefoot Runners, A.H Gruber, Joe Warne, J. Hamill
Articles
The true differences between barefoot and shod running are difficult to directly compare 2 because of the concomitant change to a mid/forefoot footfall pattern that typically occurs 3 during barefoot running. The purpose of this study was to compare isolated effects of footwear 4 structure and cushioning on running mechanics in habitual mid/forefoot runners running shod 5 (SHOD), barefoot (BF), and barefoot on a foam surface (BF+FOAM). Ten habitually shod 6 mid/forefoot runners were recruited (male=8, female=2). Repeated measures ANOVA 7 (α=0.05) revealed differences between conditions for only vertical peak active force, contact 8 time, negative and total ankle joint …
Transitioning To Minimal Footwear: A Systematic Review Of Methods And Future Clinical Recommendations, Joe Warne
Articles
Recent interest in barefoot running has led to the development of minimalist running shoes that are popular in distance runners. A careful transition to these shoes has been suggested and examined in the literature. However, no guidelines based on systematic evidence have been presented.
