{"title":"The rich research tapestry that foreshadowed advanced footwear technology and what it suggests for the future","authors":"E. Frederick, D. Stefanyshyn, W. Hoogkamer","doi":"10.1080/19424280.2023.2199296","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2023.2199296","url":null,"abstract":"Since the early 1980s, with the emergence of footwear biomechanics and the focus on performance in running shoe design and engineering, shoes have been thought of as having an ergogenic potential. However, the notion that footwear can have energetic penalties, or, conversely, benefits, first came to light in the 1940s, with reports on the outsized effects of shoe mass and mass distribution on the energetic cost of transport while walking (Russell & Belding, 1946). Catlin and Dressendorfer (1979) extended similar observations to running. This notion of lighter meaning faster, was quickly embellished by the idea that cushioning also might have an ergogenic benefit (Frederick et al., 1986). During this same period, McMahon and Greene (1978) demonstrated that running tracks tuned to runners’ mechanics could enhance performance. So we began to think that mechanically ‘tuning’ shoes might also provide ergogenic benefits. At that moment, the list of potential shoerelated ergogenic factors would have included: making shoes lighter, appropriately cushioned, and perhaps tuning their compliance to a runners’ lower limb mechanics. More than a decade later, Stefanyshyn and Nigg (2000) added another critically important idea to this general theory of shoe-generated ergogenic benefits. Their proposal that joint energy could be conserved or perhaps redirected by using stiff moderator plates to enhance performance and reduce overall energetic cost was quite radical at the time, and it foreshadowed the development of Advanced Footwear Technology (AFT). Impressive in its performance (Hoogkamer et al., 2018) the Nike Vaporfly 4% ushered in a new era of AFT in 2017. Researchers and developers at Nike exploited these fundamental concepts of ergonomic benefits in running shoes by incorporating lightweight, highly resilient cushioning materials and stiff moderator plates. These technologies were packaged in a unique geometry, specifically a shoe with a sizeable stack height and pronounced forefoot rocker, to help maximise the effects as well as alleviate some potential negative side-effects that can arise from some of these technologies (Farina et al., 2019). Interestingly, the 4% improvement in running economy with the Vaporfly shoes aligns well with a cumulative result of published effects associated with each of these individual concepts, namely; 1% effect of mass, 2% effect of cushioning and 1% effect of moderator plates. The Vaporfly has revitalised performance running footwear and garnered tremendous interest from: (1) biomechanics researchers trying to better understand the performance increasing mechanisms; for example ‘Is it the foam?’, ‘Is it the plate?’, ‘What internal mechanisms are affected?’ (2) footwear manufacturers trying to develop their own performance running models that are competitive with the Vaporfly, and (3) governing bodies interested in ‘Maintaining the integrity of the sport’. With AFT now common place in road running, innovation efforts have","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S2 - S3"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43281700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the technology of DT was used in the healthcare-related application (Miller & Spatz, 2022), such as the medical monitor, orthopaedics evaluation and physical activity intervention. While considering the application of smart DT approach into the Research and Development (R&D) of sports footwear, the digitisation of a footwear prototype in a virtual space may be a first step, throughout a complex optimisation process of computation (the pressure-comfort prediction, mechanical calculation, Finite Element simulation, shoe prototype modification and optimisation etc.) (in the second step), and a third step of shoe manufacture.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S184 - S185"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41705078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recent study showed that footwear closures can impact heel hold, foot eversion velocity, and running speed while trail running (Honert et al., 2023). It is beneficial to evaluate footwear on ecologically valid terrain; yet outcome metrics can only be obtained from wearable sensors. The benefit of in-lab studies is the myriad of measurements available to evaluate footwear, at the cost of overly constraining protocols that limit generalizability. For instance, the Distal Rearfoot power estimates foot and shoe dissipation due to the heel fat pad and shoe cushioning (Honert et al., 2022). Theoretically, a poor fitting shoe would move around the foot more resulting in more energy dissipation as compared to a better fitting shoe. It is currently unknown if this biomechanical measure is sensitive to footwear fit.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S10 - S11"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49324359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recent study established expert consensus, gained through a standardised Delphi process, on the ideal design characteristics of children’s off-the-shelf stability therapeutic footwear (OSSTF) (Hill et al. 2021). The characteristics were classified into two groups, stability and ergonomics. Some design characteristics were suggested to relate to the stiffness of the components of OSSTF in specific regions of the footwear.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful disease of the knee joint and one of the factors that inhibit walking. Recently, about 10% of women in their 40s have knee OA, and the rate increases with age, with a reported prevalence of about 80% in women in their 80s in Japan (Yoshimura, N et al. 2009). An increase in varus knee joint moment during walking is one of the causes of knee OA progression (Foroughi, N et al. 2009) and its decrease may be important in delaying the onset of knee OA. Thus, we developed prototype shoes (PTS) that aim to reduce varus knee joint moment by improving cushioning at ground contact and guiding the center of pressure to the medial side, through the hardness and structure of the midsole and outsole.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S138 - S139"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42086705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While tendinopathies likely occur from both biological and mechanical factors, they may be characterized using mechanical fatigue principles (Edwards, 2018). Peak Achilles (AT) and patellar (PT) tendon strains represent pertinent metrics to examine overuse injury risk, as both are highly correlated with fatigue life (i.e. the number of repetitive loading cycles to tissue failure). Cycling cleat fore/aft positioning is an extrinsic intervention to potentially alter peak AT/PT strains, yet its effect remains unknown. From a performance standpoint, cycling cleat position may also affect the energetic cost of cycling as altered tendon strains may influence muscle contraction dynamics (Lichtwark & Wilson, 2007). We hypothesized that posterior cleat positioning would reduce peak AT and PT tendon strains by shortening the moment arms of these tendons and that posterior cleat positioning would increase the energetic cost of cycling, due to suboptimal muscle contraction dynamics.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S49 - S51"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48489886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
