Abstract

The addition of highly responsive lightweight foam and a stiff plate in the midsole of long-distance road racing shoes has yielded significant energetic cost savings that have translated to notable improvements in performance. This new foam and stiff plate technology have since been implemented in long-distance track spikes, where performances have also improved. However, the impact of spikes with advanced footwear technology (AFT) on distance running biomechanics has been studied minimally to date. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare running biomechanics between two spikes which incorporate AFT (Nike ZoomX Dragonfly, Nike Air Zoom Victory) to a traditional spike (Nike Zoom Matumbo). Seventeen competitive collegiate female runners completed 60 m trials at their 5k race pace in each spike condition while outfitted with IMU sensors and plantar pressure insoles. We observed significantly lower peak ankle dorsiflexion in the Dragonfly and Victory compared to the Matumbo and lower whole foot, forefoot and rearfoot peak and average pressure in the Dragonfly compared to the Matumbo and Victory. The acute biomechanical alterations observed in this study warrant future investigation into the association between running biomechanics and racing performance in track spikes with advanced footwear technology.

采用先进鞋类技术的田径钉鞋与传统田径钉鞋在女性长跑运动员中的生物力学比较。

在长距离公路赛车鞋的中底中加入高响应性轻质泡沫和硬板，大大节省了能量成本，从而显著提高了性能。此后，这种新型泡沫和硬板技术被应用于长距离田径钉鞋，其性能也得到了提高。然而，采用先进鞋类技术（AFT）的钉鞋对长跑生物力学的影响迄今为止研究得很少。因此，本研究的目的是比较两种采用 AFT 的钉鞋（Nike ZoomX Dragonfly 和 Nike Air Zoom Victory）与传统钉鞋（Nike Zoom Matumbo）的跑步生物力学。17 名具有竞争力的大学生女选手在每种鞋钉条件下以 5 公里比赛速度完成了 60 米测试，同时配备了 IMU 传感器和足底压力鞋垫。我们观察到，与 Matumbo 鞋相比，Dragonfly 鞋和 Victory 鞋的踝关节外翻峰值明显更低，与 Matumbo 鞋和 Victory 鞋相比，Dragonfly 鞋的整个脚掌、前脚掌和后脚掌的峰值和平均压力也更低。本研究中观察到的急性生物力学变化表明，今后有必要对采用先进鞋类技术的田径钉鞋的跑步生物力学与比赛成绩之间的联系进行研究。

期刊介绍： Sports Biomechanics is the Thomson Reuters listed scientific journal of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS). The journal sets out to generate knowledge to improve human performance and reduce the incidence of injury, and to communicate this knowledge to scientists, coaches, clinicians, teachers, and participants. The target performance realms include not only the conventional areas of sports and exercise, but also fundamental motor skills and other highly specialized human movements such as dance (both sport and artistic). Sports Biomechanics is unique in its emphasis on a broad biomechanical spectrum of human performance including, but not limited to, technique, skill acquisition, training, strength and conditioning, exercise, coaching, teaching, equipment, modeling and simulation, measurement, and injury prevention and rehabilitation. As well as maintaining scientific rigour, there is a strong editorial emphasis on ''reader friendliness''. By emphasising the practical implications and applications of research, the journal seeks to benefit practitioners directly. Sports Biomechanics publishes papers in four sections: Original Research, Reviews, Teaching, and Methods and Theoretical Perspectives.
