This has been attributed to shoes with a combination of a thick midsole and carbon fibre plate (carbon plate shoes) first introduced by Nike in their Breaking2 event. There are many theories on how these shoes decrease metabolic cost, including the stiff carbon plate storing and releasing energy, the midsole thickness, and the shoe acting as a teeter-totter system (Patoz et al., 2022). However, no unifying theory has emerged, and the response varies widely across runners. One challenge that has limited the ability to determine how these shoes lower cost is associated with the difficulty measuring the mechanics of the foot and foot-shoe system in vivo. In this pilot study, we address this gap by simultaneously measuring foot bone motion with biplanar videoradiography (BVR) and foot-shoe power in these so called ‘super shoes’.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S117 - S119"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46028123","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}

This may be explained by the decreased peak dorsiflexion angle, increased Achilles tendon moment arm and reduced force requirement to move the ankle (Sobhani et al., 2015). Besides kinematic differences, changes in electromyography (EMG) data were also found (Hoitz et al., 2020). Previous studies showed that a certain amount of time is required for EMG to adapt while running (Mohr et al. 2022). However, since EMG data may also be associated with changes in joint velocities, it is still unknown if kinematic data also requires adaptation time for rocker footwear. It is of even greater importance for rocker shoe studies to investigate the kinematic adaptation due to the large change in outsole geometry from a conventional shoe.","PeriodicalId":45905,"journal":{"name":"Footwear Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"S144 - S145"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45430613","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}
