Influence of shoe drop on running kinematics and kinetics in female runners

This study investigated the effects of shoe drop on lower limb kinematics and kinetics in female runners.Fifteen healthy female runners ran on a 15-m runway at their preferred speed with three different shoe-drop conditions: 0 (D0), 6 (D6) and 10 (D10) mm. Three-dimensional marker positions and ground reaction forces were recorded to analyse kinetic and kinematic parameters using zero- (0D) and one-dimensional (1D) metrics (statistical...
