Advanced footwear technology (AFT) changed footwear design concepts by using a curved carbon fibre plate in combination with new, more compliant and resilient foams. The aim of this study was (1) to examine the individual effects of AFT on the evolution of the main road events and (2) to re-assess the impact of AFT on the world's top-100 performance in men's 10k, half-marathon and marathon events. Data from the top-100 men's 10k, half-marathon and marathon performances were collected between 2015 and 2019. The shoes used by the athletes were identified in 93.1% of the cases by publicly available photographs. Runners wearing AFT had an average performance of 1671 ± 22.28 s compared to 1685 ± 18.97 s of runners not using AFT in 10k (0.83%) ( < 0.001), 3589 ± 29.79 s compared to 3607 ± 30.49 s in half-marathon (0.50%) ( < 0.001) and 7563 ± 86.10 s compared to 7637 ± 72.51 s in the marathon (0.97%) ( < 0.001). Runners wearing AFTs were faster by ~1% in the main road events compared to non-users. Individual analysis showed that ~25% of the runners did not benefit from the use of this type of footwear. The results of this study suggest that AFT has a clear positive impact on running performance in main road events.
先进的鞋类技术（AFT）通过将弯曲的碳纤维板与新型、更具柔韧性和弹性的泡沫材料相结合，改变了鞋类设计理念。本研究的目的是：（1）研究AFT对主要公路赛事成绩演变的个体影响；（2）重新评估AFT对男子10公里、半程马拉松和马拉松赛事世界排名前100的成绩的影响。收集了2015年至2019年间男子10公里、半程马拉松和马拉松赛事排名前100的成绩数据。通过公开的照片，在93.1%的案例中确定了运动员所穿的鞋子。在10公里赛事中，穿着AFT的跑步者平均成绩为1671±22.28秒，而未使用AFT的跑步者平均成绩为1685±18.97秒（提高了0.83%）（P<0.001）；在半程马拉松赛事中，穿着AFT的跑步者平均成绩为3589±29.79秒，而未使用AFT的跑步者平均成绩为3607±30.49秒（提高了0.50%）（P<0.001）；在马拉松赛事中，穿着AFT的跑步者平均成绩为7563±86.10秒，而未使用AFT的跑步者平均成绩为7637±72.51秒（提高了0.97%）（P<0.001）。与未使用者相比，穿着AFT的跑步者在主要公路赛事中的速度快了约1%。个体分析表明，约25%的跑步者并未从使用这类鞋类中受益。本研究结果表明，AFT对主要公路赛事的跑步成绩有明显的积极影响。
