The Role of athlete response tests in the biomechanical evaluation of running shoes / A. Lees

Sumario: The protection that the running shoe can offer against shock forces has been investigated by standard mechanical tests of individual materials or of a combination of materials used in running shoe manufacture, and by testing the athlete's response to a shoe by measuring the ground reaction forces produced by the runner while running in the shoes. This paper presents data from a series of studies which have attempted to uncover the nature of the inconsistency in the athlete's interaction with his running shoes
