Download or read book The Biomechanics of the Foot and Ankle written by Robert Donatelli and published by F. A. Davis Company. This book was released on 1995 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive text on the anatomy, pathomechanics, and treatment of the foot and ankle, for students and clinicians. It contains 13 chapters in three sections: biomechanics of the foot and ankle, biomechanical evaluation, and treatment approaches to restore normal movement. This revised and updated edition (first was 1990) deliberates on the concept of the foot as an important part of the lower kinetic chain. Two new chapters have been added, on closed kinetic chain and gait, and on the application of kinetic chain rehabilitation in the lower extremities.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The interrelationships between individual anthropometric variability, running mechanics, comfort, and injury are complicated and present a challenge to footwear designers as they try to provide safe, comfortable, efficient shoes within a limited product line. In previous research there has been relatively limited success in linking variations in lower limb anatomy or musculoskeletal function to movements or kinetics associated with injury. The present study was designed to include a more complete set of structural and functional measurements of the lower extremity than has previously been done. Specifically, this study investigated how lower extremity structure and function interact with two shoe types (Motion Control (MC) vs. Cushioning (CU)) to affect movement dynamics during running. This study aims to create a more specific categorization of the influence of footwear structure on kinetic and kinematic variables of running based on runner characteristics, including both anthropometric features and movement factors. Methods: 16 recreational runners (>̲10 miles per week) were recruited to participate in this study. 3-D kinematics and kinetics were collected as subjects ran at 3.58 m*s−1+̲ 5% along a 20m runway. Trials were performed in both MC and CU shoes. A number of anthropometric measures were collected during a separate session. The effect of shoe type on kinetic and kinematic variables was examined using a paired t-test. In addition, relationships were identified between lower limb anthropometric variables and shoe type differences using Pearson correlations. Results: CU and MC shoes demonstrated significant differences for ankle inversion moment, ground reaction force, and sagittal plane kinematic timing variables. Weight, Quadriceps angle, and ankle structure and range of motion (ROM) influenced differences between running mechanics in the two shoe types. No significant interactions between shoe type and arch group were found. Conclusions: Compared to the MC shoe, the CU shoe showed reductions in key force magnitudes and reduced the rate at which forces were applied. The stability features in the MC shoe were evident in ankle inversion moment maximum, positive impulse, and net impulse. An MC shoe may provide people that have larger Q-angles more support, while a CU shoe may be more beneficial for a heavier runner. Runners with an inverted subtalar joint neutral position (STJN) may be better suited for a CU shoe, while runners with an everted STJN might be better served with an MC shoe. In both of these cases the shoe attenuated forces that may be potentially harmful to the runner. Kinetic and kinematic differences among arch groups did exist, but were unaffected by shoe type. This study allowed us to reach a better understanding of the interplay among structural and functional parameters, shoe type, and lower extremity kinetic and kinematic responses. Future research should include a more diverse pool of subjects and focus on fatigue's role in cushioning.

Book excerpt: Reviews of The Science of Running:"The Science of Running sets the new standard for training theory and physiological data. Every veteran and beginner distance coach needs to have this on their book shelf."-Alan WebbAmerican Record Holder-Mile 3:46.91 "For anyone serious about running, The Science of Running offers the latest information and research for optimizing not only your understanding of training but also your performance. If you want to delve deeper into the world of running and training, this book is for you. You will never look at running the same."-Jackie Areson, 15th at the 2013 World Championships in the 5k. 15:12 5,000m best If you are looking for how to finish your first 5k, this book isn't for you. The Science of Running is written for those of us looking to maximize our performance, get as close to our limits as possible, and more than anything find out how good we can be, or how good our athletes can be. In The Science of Running, elite coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness integrates the latest research with the training processes of the world's best runners, to deliver an in depth look at how to maximize your performance. It is a unique book that conquers both the scientific and practical points of running in two different sections. The first is aimed at identifying what limits running performance from a scientific standpoint. You will take a tour through the inside of the body, learning what causes fatigue, how we produce energy to run, and how the brain functions to hold you back from super-human performance. In section two, we turn to the practical application of this information and focus on the process of training to achieve your goals. You will learn how to develop training plans and to look at training in a completely different way. The Science of Running does not hold back information and is sure to challenge you to become a better athlete, coach, or exercise scientist in covering such topics as:· What is fatigue? The latest research on looking at fatigue from a brain centered view.· Why VO2max is the most overrated and misunderstood concept in both the lab and on the track· Why "zone" training leads to suboptimal performance.· How to properly individualize training for your own unique physiology.· How to look at the training process in a unique way in terms of stimulus and adaptation.· Full sample training programs from 800m to the marathon.

Download or read book The Influence of Footwear Longitudinal Bending Stiffness on Running Economy and Biomechanics in Older Runners written by Richard Beltran and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Footwear longitudinal bending stiffness manipulated with carbon fiber inserts has shown conflicting findings on running economy in young runners. Given the lower ankle torque and power observed in older compared to young runners, more footwear bending stiffness could benefit running economy of older runners as it is expected to attenuate age-related changes in biomechanical function related to economy. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of running footwear longitudinal bending stiffness manipulated using carbon fiber inserts on running economy and biomechanics of older runners. Nine runners over 60 years (four women) completed five-minute running bouts at their preferred running pace in three footwear conditions: low bending stiffness (4.4 1.8 Nm-1, LS), moderate bending stiffness (5.7 1.7 Nm-1, MS), and high bending stiffness (6.4 1.6 Nm-1, HS). Testing order was randomized and a mirror testing design was used (e.g., LS, MS, HS, HS, MS, LS). Expired gases, lower limb kinematics, and ground reaction forces were collected simultaneously. Lower limb joint kinetics, running economy (VO2), leg stiffness, and spatio-temporal variables were computed. Running economy was not different among the three different stiffness conditions without adjusting for mass and when adjusting for mass. More shoe stiffness reduced step length, but ankle joint kinetics, propulsive force, and leg stiffness were not different among the three different stiffness conditions. The findings from this study demonstrate that increasing footwear longitudinal bending stiffness using flat carbon fiber inserts does not improve running economy and generally does not alter lower limb joint mechanics of older runners. However, given the current evidence on the influence of footwear bending stiffness and other footwear characteristics on MTP joint mechanics and running economy, future research on this population should consider MTP joint mechanics..
