Football boots are marketed with emphasis on a single key performance characteristic (e.g. speed). Little is known on how design parameters impact players' performance. This study investigated the impact of boot design on performance maintenance and perceived foot comfort during a 90-minute match simulation drill. Eleven male university football players tested two commercially available "sprint boots" known to generate significantly different plantar pressures (high=Boot H and low=Boot L) . Players completed a modified Soccer-specific Aerobic Field Test on a 3G pitch. Heart rate, rated perceived exertion and perceived foot discomfort were assessed for each 15-min interval. Power generation was assessed pre- and post-match simulation. A significantly higher mean heart rate was seen for Boot L in the 60th-75th and 75th-90th minute intervals (P = 0.017, P = 0.012 respectively). Perceived exertion did not differ between boots (P ≥ 0.302). Power generation significantly decreased in Boot H between pre- and post-match (P = 0.042). Both boots increased discomfort with significantly more plantar discomfort felt in the last 30 min in Boot H (75th min: P = 0.037; 90th min: P = 0.048). The results imply that a comfortable boot design may improve maintenance of performance during match-play.
足球鞋的市场营销强调单一的关键性能特征（例如速度）。对于设计参数如何影响球员表现，人们知之甚少。本研究调查了鞋款设计对 90 分钟模拟比赛训练中球员表现维持和足部舒适度感知的影响。11 名男性大学生足球运动员测试了两款市售的“冲刺鞋”，这两款鞋被认为会产生明显不同的足底压力（高=鞋 H，低=鞋 L）。运动员在 3G 球场上完成了改良的足球有氧场测试。每 15 分钟间隔评估心率、感知用力程度和足部不适。比赛模拟前后评估功率输出。在第 60-75 分钟和第 75-90 分钟间隔，鞋 L 的平均心率明显更高（P=0.017，P=0.012）。鞋款之间的感知用力程度没有差异（P≥0.302）。鞋 H 的功率输出在比赛前后显著下降（P=0.042）。两款鞋都增加了不适感，鞋 H 在最后 30 分钟的足底不适感明显更强（第 75 分钟：P=0.037；第 90 分钟：P=0.048）。结果表明，舒适的鞋款设计可能有助于在比赛中维持表现。
