Abstract

This study examined the impact of sex and lacing pattern on foot skin temperature (Tsk) and comfort during running. Twenty-four recreational runners participated in two treadmill trials involving cross-lacing and heel-lock lacing. Tsk and comfort were measured before and after 20 min of running at 10 km/h. Results revealed higher post-exercise Tsk with cross-lacing compared to heel-lock lacing (p = 0.003). Females had lower pre-exercise Tsk but higher post-exercise Tsk than males (p < 0.001). Heel-lock lacing was perceived as more comfortable (p < 0.05), and females reported higher heart rates and perceived exertion (p < 0.001). The mechanical work of running is crucial for the impact of lacing patterns on Tsk. Increased Tsk with cross-lacing negatively influences comfort, suggesting that lacing patterns can affect foot thermoregulation and subjective experience during running.

不同跑鞋系带对年轻人舒适度和足部皮肤温度的性别差异

这项研究考察了性别和鞋带样式对跑步时足部皮肤温度（Tsk）和舒适度的影响。24名业余跑步者参加了两项跑步机试验，包括交叉系带和跟锁系带。在以10公里/小时的速度跑步20分钟前后测量Tsk和舒适度。结果显示，与跟锁系带相比，交叉系带的运动后Tsk更高（p = 0.003）。女性运动前的任务比男性低，但运动后的任务比男性高（p < 0.001）。锁跟系带被认为更舒适（p < 0.05），女性报告更高的心率和感觉劳累（p < 0.001）。跑步的机械工作对绑带模式对Tsk的影响至关重要。增加Tsk与交叉系带会对舒适性产生负面影响，这表明系带模式会影响跑步时的足部体温调节和主观体验。
