RUNNING SHOE SELECTION
EVALUATING THE RESPONSE TO INSOLES/FOOTWEAR
A 31-year old recreational runner performed a three-speed screening protocol entailing a one-minute run at 8,10, and 12km/h while running barefoot and in in two shoe conditions.
Using Runeasi’s automatic report generation feature, we can evaluate the effects of the shoe conditions on his running biomechanics. Speed effects: the overall trends consistently show that his impact magnitude and dynamic instability increase and his impact duration shortens with faster speeds. Shoe effects: We can see that compared to barefoot, in both shoe conditions his impact loading is higher (magnitude) and over a shorter time period (impact duration).
