Comparison Between Kinetic And Kinematic Response For Barefoot Vs Shod Foot Running

Running is a sport that is very much connected to physics. Scientists have done many significant research in the past on the physics of running, and I will try to discuss some of the main aspects of it here.

Twisting, bending, and pressing on a walking shoe is a way in which to test the shoe’s:

Also a repeated measure ANOVA was used to test differences between footwear conditions in eccentric and concentric phases by intensity. Using ANOVA versus conducting multiple T-test was a benefit to the study. ANOVA decreases the chance of making a type 1 error. If there was statistical significance identified from the analysis a post hoc test was ran to help identify where the significance came from. In this study statistical analysis was performed using PASW

The study will be a single-centered, crossover, randomized control trial which will aim to determine which foot condition, barefoot or shod, allows for best performance of the SEBT. The dependent variable is reach distance. The independent variable is the differing foot conditions, barefoot versus shod. The SEBT will produce continuous, ratio data measured in centimeters. A quantitative primary research approach will be used as quantitative measurements allow for statistical comparison between variables, which will allow the hypothesis to be accepted or rejected (Barker et al., 2016). 1:1 block randomization will be used in this study, with participant being randomly assigned to either barefoot or shod first groups of equal sizes using the crossover design. Randomization

In this assignment I will be reviewing the different effects of exercise on the body system including the acute and long term using the pre-exercise, exercise and post-exercise physiological data which I collected based on interval and continuous training method. I will also be including the advantages and disadvantages of these, also the participants’ strengths and areas where they can improve on.

Does changing running shoes affect a runner’s speed? It is important to wear running shoes that fit. Running shoes are made out of a lot of different materials. Running shoes come in different brands and styles. Shoes will last with proper care. It’s important to know when to replace worn out shoes. The surface a runner decides to run on can reduce their speed. A runner may encounter unfavorable weather when running which can impact their performance. Including exercises to a running regimen can benefit the runner. There are many factors that lead to a successful running shoe, but what matters most is shoe comfort and improved runner performance.

Trimble writes that people have been runner without shoes longer than they have with shoes. He says that people have evolved for running. In the essay Trimble quotes a journal that reveals the fact that there is no evidence that would suggest running without shoes is dangerous. In fact, the opposite is true. It is manmade ground that is causing the difficulty for runners. A new shoe was made called the Springbuck, which takes that into consideration in its design

In the twenty-fifth chapter of Born to Run, the author writes about the rise of running injuries being caused by the running shoes. The author claims the best shoes are the worst, feet like a good beating, and human beings are designed to run without shoes. All of these theories are true. Many researchers agree that the modern running shoe causes the rise in running related injuries. The author writes about how it is completely reasonable to blame this on Nike. All of this is their fault. There are several studies being conducted, and none of the outcomes favor Nike. The shoes harm the feet more than they will ever protect them.

By testing this hypothesis, you must perform the more improved experiment indoors, all in one day, with multiple trials and adequate breaks in between so that the athlete’s exhaustion and stamina is closer to normal levels. This new experiment still has the same independent variable being the time it takes to run around the lap while the dependent variable are the shoes purchased. Some controlled variables would be the breaks taken between trials which would be done by resting until the athletes stamina is normal and running in an indoor track. Although this is the more improved experiment, there are still extraneous variables that can’t be controlled like starting each trial with the exact exhaustion. This could affect the experiment negatively because her time could’ve theoretically been better with a different type of shoes but this is compensated by having a longer break and running inside to prevent unnecessary fatigue due to possible extreme

Capasso et al (1989) made a comparison of adhesive and non-adhesive tape when applied to the ankle. The authors determined that non-adhesive tape must be exchanged every three days due to loss of compression, and also confirmed that adhesive tape could be left on for five days. In this study, the forces were measured by merging a sphygmomanometer with the ankle taping. However, such method did not reveal an exact measurement and thus it was criticized. The subjects were instructed to heel strike, foot weight bear and toe-off weight bear while the data was collected in between phases as they held the position. This mechanical function did not reflect a real time gait cycle and therefore it was an inaccurate representation to gait. Furthermore,

Abstract This experiment was devised to measure how altering a person’s running form can affect their speed. The participants ran a for 40 yards on the track and were each given five minutes to rest between the different running form. The control running form consisted of the participants running with their arms moving, sprinting naturally. The other running form tested the participants time while running with their arms held straight. The experimental results found during the research supported the hypothesis that running with the arms in motion naturally generated the running best time. Introduction Running is seen all across the world. Whether it is on television, in magazines, in a person’s local community, or for sports. Despite race,

Limited ankle dorsiflexion has previously been shown to be a risk factor for lower extremity injuries as it alters the mechanics of gait, such as decreasing the amount of time to “heel-off”, and leads to excessive subtalar joint pronation forces on the foot, causing it to become hypermobile.1,2,3,4,5 The ankle reaches peak dorsiflexion during midstance of the gait cycle. At this point, about 8 to 10 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion is needed in order to advance the tibia over the foot while the knee is extended. When this

Participating in basketball begins with picking which basketball shoes to wear. The purpose of a sports shoe is to improve performance or reduce the risk of injury (Fong, Hong & Li, 2007). While playing the game of basketball I’ve realized it is a sport that involves different types of shoes which help improve jumping, landing, cutting and much more. Basketball has its positives and negatives for every age group; it has good health benefits, but it also consists of moderate to high risk lower body injuries to the lower back, legs and ankles. There are different types of basketball shoes which consist of high tops, mid tops, low cuts, cushioned shoes, non-cushioned shoes, and other different combinations. The high tops basketball shoe will have a collar that goes above the ankle like a sleeve. The mid tops basketball shoe covers slightly above the ankle, but lower than high tops. The low cut basketball shoes don’t have a collar at all and they don’t cover the ankle. Shoes also vary by weight and outsole traction. Through my knowledge picking the shoe to wear is solely on your preference. Whatever shoe that you choose will have different advantages or disadvantages to them. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the variety of effects specific shoe types have on basketball athletes.

Running shoes may be the most destructive force to ever hit the human foot. Since the early 1970’s runners have been scared into thinking that the only way they could run effectively are running shoes. Dr. Daniel Lieberman, a professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University said “A lot of foot and knee injuries that are currently plaguing us are actually caused by people running with shoes that make our feet weak, cause us to over-pronate, and give us knee problems. Until 1972, when the modern athletic shoe was invented by Nike, people ran in very thin-soled shoes, had strong feet, and had much lower incidence of injury.” So it seems that the shoe industry is based solely on empty promises and wishful thinking.
