Download or read book Biomechanical Analysis of Military Boots Phase 3 Recommendations for the Design of Future Military Boots written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains a series of recommendations for the design of future military footwear. The recommendations relate to shock attenuation, midsole stiffness, medio-lateral stability, and upper construction. Approaches for implementing the recommendations, including material selection and construction techniques, are discussed. The recommendations are based upon findings from a two-phase research program to assess the biomechanical properties of boots presently used by military personnel. The military boots used in the research were the black leather combat boot and the hot weather boot. Commercial sport shoes and boots also were tested. These included a cross trainer, a work boot, a basketball shoe and a hiking boot. In Phase I, the military and commercial footwear items were subjected to materials tests that included measures of impact, flexibility, stability, resistance of the outer sole to wear, water penetration, and frictional properties of the outsole. In Phase II, men and women wore the footwear while walking, marching, running, jumping from heights and running an agility course. The data acquired included ground reaction forces, in-shoe pressures, sagittal plane kinematics, rearfoot movement, leg muscle activity, metabolic rate, and heart rate. The findings from Phase I (NATICK/TR-93/006), and Phase II VOL I (NATICK/TR-96/Oll) and Phase II VOL II (NATICK/TR-96/Ol2) are summarized and presented with the recommendations.
Download or read book Athletic Footwear and Orthoses in Sports Medicine written by Matthew B. Werd and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a revised and expanded second edition, including an expanded section on running footwear and additional sports-specific recommendations, this updated, practical resource provides a concise and logical approach to prescribing footwear that will maximize performance and minimize injury in athletes. From fundamentals — including athletic foot types, basic biomechanics and gait evaluation — to step-by-step guidance through assessment and prescription of shoes, socks, lacing, inserts, and orthoses, this book is both comprehensive and easily accessible. A new section has been added to cover the array of different considerations for running footwear (barefoot, minimalist, maximalist), as well as new sport-specific recommendations. As in the previous edition, referral, coding and billing are also addressed. Photographs and drawings clearly illustrate key concepts, and wherever relevant, the authors have incorporated evidence-based medicine. By presenting new and updated essential information in a user-friendly format, Athletic Footwear and Orthoses in Sports Medicine, Second Edition will prove to be invaluable for sports medicine physicians, podiatrists, orthopedists, physical therapists, and athletic trainers.
Download or read book Reducing Stress Fracture in Physically Active Military Women written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-09-22 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of stress fractures of the lower extremities during U.S. military basic training is significantly higher among female military recruits than among male recruits. The prevalence of this injury has a marked impact on the health of service personnel and imposes a significant financial burden on the military by delaying completion of the training of new recruits. In addition to lengthening training time, increasing program costs, and delaying military readiness, stress fractures may share their etiology with the longer-term risk of osteoporosis. As part of the Defense Women's Health Research Program, this book evaluates the impact of diet, genetic predisposition, and physical activity on bone mineral and calcium status in young servicewomen. It makes recommendations for reducing stress fractures and improving overall bone health through nutrition education and monitored physical training programs. The book also makes recommendations for future research to evaluate more fully the effects of fitness levels, physical activities, and other factors on stress fracture risk and bone health.
Download or read book Biomechanical Analysis of Military Boots Phase 1 Materials Testing of Military and Commercial Footwear written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a report on Phase I of a two-phase analysis of footwear. In this phase military boots and commercially available boots and shoes were subjected to materials tests that included measures of impact, flexibility, stability, resistance of the outsole to accelerated wear, water penetration during immersion, and static and dynamic friction of the outsole. The military boots were the black leather combat boot and the hot weather boot. The commercial items were: a running shoe, a cross trainer, a work boot, a basketball shoe, a hiking boot, and a walking shoe. These items were not developed for use as military field footwear, but they incorporate materials and design concepts that could be adapted to a military boot. All footwear types were analyzed unworn and after having been worn for over 300 hours. The results indicated that the commercial running shoe and the cross trainer had impact properties superior to all other items. The running shoe was also the most flexible and took longest to reach the criterion of accelerated wear. The military boots showed good medial and lateral stability and the combat boot had good resistance to water penetration. The military and the commercial footwear had comparable coefficients of friction.
Download or read book Angels in Combat Boots written by LTC Chuck Hunsaker USA Ret. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANGELS IN COMBAT BOOTS – A SYNOPSIS In 1802 Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation that established the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was an all-male institution to train and educate officers for the United States Army. That all changed in 1973 when the 93rd Congress passed legislation that would ensure that admission to the service academies would be made without regard to a candidate’s sex, race, color, or religious beliefs.” Women were coming to West Point! They may be able to handle the academics, but they will never be able to handle the physical requirements echoed across the plain. Part of Day 1 processing is a pull-up test. Many of the women struggled, and “I told you so” became the thought of the day. However, when all new cadets were awakened the following morning and reported to physical training, upper-class cadets and tactical officers were shocked when a few of the women could run in the “fast” group. That simply couldn’t be...but it was. Running was the one area where both men and women participated shoulder to shoulder on a daily basis, and women with cross country experience could not only run with the average men, they could run with many of the better men. They were instrumental in breaking down those barriers and helping to fully integrate women into the Corps of Cadets. Women did belong...women could handle the physical requirements. In this book you will get to know that first women’s cross-country team. You will follow their athletic recruitment, their summer training at Corps Squad Screening, understand the challenges of being among the first women at the academy and see how they handled their first varsity meet. You will understand how they became known as “Charlie’s Angels”, watch them develop as runners who could initially only handle minimal mileage to the team that became Eastern Champions, finished in the nation’s top 10 twice, and even became the first Army women’s team to BEAT NAVY...a special stealth competition but a win none-the-less. They were special women and were truly...ANGELS IN COMBAT BOOTS!
