The authors aimed to determine the effects of barefoot (BF) and several commercially available barefoot-inspired (BFIS) footwear models on limb and joint stiffness characteristics compared with conventional footwear (CF). Fifteen male participants ran over a force platform at 4.0 m.s(-1), in BF, BFIS, and CF conditions. Measures of limb and joint stiffness were calculated for each footwear. The results indicate that limb and knee stiffness were greater in BF and minimalist BFIS than in CF. CF and more structured BFIS were associated with a greater ankle stiffness compared with BF and minimalist BFIS. These findings serve to provide further insight into the susceptibility of runners to different injury mechanisms as a function of footwear.
作者旨在确定与传统鞋类（CF）相比，赤脚（BF）和几种市售的受赤脚启发的（BFIS）鞋类模型对肢体和关节刚度特征的影响。15名男性参与者在力平台上以4.0米/秒的速度跑步，分别处于BF、BFIS和CF条件下。针对每种鞋类计算肢体和关节刚度的测量值。结果表明，BF和极简主义BFIS条件下的肢体和膝关节刚度大于CF条件下的。与BF和极简主义BFIS相比，CF和结构更复杂的BFIS与更大的踝关节刚度相关。这些发现有助于进一步了解跑步者因鞋类不同而对不同损伤机制的易感性。
