Abstract
Biomechanical running gait analysis in athletes has been reported to be a crucial part of improving running style (9, 13). Clinicians commonly analyze running gait patterns to prevent or treat injuries that are related to a poor alignment or possibly damaging biomechanics (27). Besides the clinical significance of an appropriate running gait analysis, scientists also assess the biomechanics of athletes, mostly runners, to ensure an efficient running technique (41). A common component of analyzing running technique is the determination of footstrike patterns in athletes (9, 11, 22). Typically, the footstrike pattern is defined as a biomechanical analysis of the way the foot touches the ground (35), A common interpretation of this definition uses the distinction of three footstrike patterns (Fig. 1): forefoot strike (FFS), midfoot strike (MFS), rearfoot strike (FRS). Several modifications have been made to this popular classification. For instance, some authors Tim Hoenig Department of Sports and Exercise Medicine Institute of Human Movement Science University of Hamburg Turmweg 2, 20148 Hamburg, Germany : tim.hoenig@stud.uke.uni-hamburg.de SCHLÜSSELWÖRTER: Laufen, Biomechanik, Überlastungsverletzungen
期刊介绍:
The Deutsche Zeitschrift fuer Sportmedizin - German Journal of Sports Medicine has been
founded in 1951 and is dedicated to the biomedical science and clinical practice of Sports
Medicine and its border fields which investigate the influence of exercise, physical training
and sports as well as lack of exercise to healthy and sick people of all age-groups, related to
prevention, diagnosis, therapy, rehabilitation and physical training.
Manuscripts which deal with actual scientific and medical findings, new hypotheses, actual
controversies and problems in real life will be published. Possible Topics are physiology
and pathophysiology of exercise, medical and biological findings, the medical therapy of
exercise-related medical problems, epidemiology of sedentary lifestyle and related
disorders, therapy of sports injuries - especially the conservative postoperative treatment
of injuries -, medical training and rehabilitation medicine, as well as special social,
cultural, psychological and special science-related aspects of the entire scientific field.
