Effects of Running Shoe Sole Hardness on Vibration and Neuromuscular Fatigue During a Half-marathon Run on a Treadmill

Summary

During running, each contact between the foot and the ground causes an impact. Ground reaction forces (GRF) are considered as an input into the musculoskeletal system. It involves a sudden deceleration in the lower limb packages (including muscles) which generates Soft-Tissue Vibrations (STV). The body is able to attenuate Soft-Tissue Vibrations (STV) but this capability decreases with fatigue. STV could be minimize by improving shoe midsole hardness.

Conditions

  • Healthy Volunteers

Interventions

OTHER

"hard shoes" runners evaluation

The "hard shoes" runners get on the treadmill for 21 km at a speed corresponding to 70 percent (%) of their the maximum aerobic speed (MAV) and are evaluated.

OTHER

"Soft shoes" runners evaluation

The "soft shoes" runners get on the treadmill for 21 km at a speed corresponding to 70 percent (%) of their the maximum aerobic speed (MAV) and are evaluated.
