Kinematic and kinetic differences between shod and barefoot running

2016

Syrjälä, J. 2016. Kinematic and kinetic differences between shod and barefoot running. Debartment of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä, Master´s Thesis in Biomechanics, 65 p. Despite the development of footwear technology, the incidence rate of running injuries remains high. The high prevalence of running-related injuries has led to a suggestion that the shoe-development approach is not working efficiently to reduce injuries. The alleged benefits of barefoot running, such as the potential for reduced risk of injury and a more economical approach, has resulted in the scien-tific community and media paying significant attention to barefoot running. Despite multiple differ-…
