Barefoot running is not a new concept, but relatively few people choose to engage in barefoot running on a regular basis. Despite the technological developments in modern running footwear, as many as 79% of runners are injured every year. Although benefits of barefoot running have been proposed, there are also potential risks associated with it.
To review the evidence-based literature concerning barefoot/minimal footwear running and the implications for the practicing physician.
Multiple publications were reviewed using an electronic search of databases such as Medline, Cinahl, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Database from inception until August 30, 2013 using the search terms barefoot running, barefoot running biomechanics, and shoe vs. barefoot running.
Ninety-six relevant articles were found. Most were reviews of biomechanical and kinematic studies.
There are notable differences in gait and other parameters between barefoot running and shoe running. Based on these findings and much anecdotal evidence, one could conclude that barefoot runners should have fewer injuries, better performance, or both. Several athletic shoe companies have designed running shoes that attempt to mimic the barefoot condition, and thus garner the purported benefits of barefoot running.
Although there is no evidence that confirms or refutes improved performance and reduced injuries in barefoot runners, many of the claimed disadvantages to barefoot running are not supported by the literature. Nonetheless, it seems that barefoot running may be an acceptable training method for athletes and coaches, as it may minimize the risks of injury.
赤足跑步并不是一个新概念，但只有相对较少的人会定期选择赤足跑步。尽管现代跑鞋技术有了发展，但每年仍有多达 79%的跑步者受伤。尽管赤脚跑步有其益处，但也存在潜在风险。
综述赤脚/极简跑鞋跑步的循证文献，并探讨其对执业医师的影响。
通过电子搜索数据库（如 Medline、Cinahl、Embase、PubMed 和 Cochrane Database），从创建到 2013 年 8 月 30 日，使用“赤脚跑步”、“赤脚跑步生物力学”和“鞋与赤脚跑步”等搜索词，对多篇出版物进行了回顾。
共发现 96 篇相关文章。大多数是对生物力学和运动学研究的综述。
赤脚跑步和穿鞋跑步在步态和其他参数上存在显著差异。基于这些发现和大量传闻证据，人们可以得出结论，赤脚跑步者应该受伤更少、表现更好，或者两者兼而有之。一些运动鞋公司设计了试图模仿赤脚状态的跑鞋，从而获得赤脚跑步的所谓益处。
尽管没有证据证实或反驳赤脚跑步者在性能提高和受伤减少方面的优势，但赤脚跑步的许多所谓劣势并没有得到文献的支持。尽管如此，赤脚跑步似乎可能是运动员和教练可以接受的训练方法，因为它可以最大程度地降低受伤风险。
