Biomechanical analysis of marathon shoes applied to NESTFIT technology

Abstract

[...]ten healthy males were picked as subjects to participate in this study. 10 healthy male subjects with an average age of 22.3 years (SD=0.5), weight of 71.5 kg (SD=6.0) and height of 173.1 cm (SD=4.3) were recruited for this study. [...]the one equipment used for the study consist of a foot pressure device from Pedar-X, Germany and a treadmill from Pulse fitness, UK. SEE PDF] As a result of analysis, it has been found that Type A has the lower maximum force (total) and maximum mean pressure (total) than Type B or C. Also, it has been found that Type A has the lower maximum force (rearfoot) and foot pressure (rearfoot) than Type B and Type C. In addition, it has been proved that the maximum force and maximum mean pressure of Type A is lower than any other control groups so that it provides pressure distribution effects during long-distance running.
