Biomechanics associated with bone stress injuries while using advanced footwear technology in elite distance runners

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the biomechanical changes associated with bone stress injuries when elite distance runners use advanced footwear technology.
Observed biomechanical variables during running with advanced footwear technology
Focus on elite distance runners and their shoe usage
Analyzed cumulative effects of biomechanics on the lower extremity
Minor increases in several biomechanical variables linked to bone stress injuries were noted during running with advanced footwear technology
Cumulative effects could elevate injury risks in the lower extremity associated with footwear use

Abstract

Increases in several biomechanical variables associated with BSI were observed during running with AFT. The changes in biomechanics were small; however, cumulative effects to bone and the lower extremity could contribute to injury. These factors should be considered when using AFT during training and competition.
