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}

Every individual has a habitual motion path (HMP) defined by their bone structure, ligament laxity, muscular strength, and injury history (Trudeau et al., 2019). The rationale behind the HMP as an injury paradigm is that moving away from your HMP will increase joint loading in non-adapted areas, potentially increasing injury risk. Therefore, it is advantageous to decrease one’s deviation from their HMP. One tool for reducing movement deviations while running is footwear. This has been biologically supported, with research showing reductions in cartilage volume loss after a run in a shoe that decreased HMP deviations (Willwacher et al., 2020). A method (Run Signature 1.0) was developed to quantify one’s individual HMP and how much their joints move differently between habitual movements and when running, referred to as a deviation (Trudeau et al., 2019). One limitation of this method was the use of a single movement, the shallow squat, to quantify someone’s HMP. A second limitation was the calculation of a deviation on the run from the habitual motion at a single point in time, the point of maximum knee flexion during the stance phase. While this first method was a pivotal moment in quantifying human movement on an individual basis, we strive to advance this method by (1) capturing more habitual movements, and (2) use more than a single timepoint to quantify deviations.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S161 - S163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44300417","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}
