Minimalist versus conventional running shoes : effects on lower limb injury incidence, pain and muscle function experienced distance runners
… if the gradual transition (accompanied by calf muscle training), from conventional to minimalist running shoes 1) increased the risk of lower limb pain or injury and 2) improved lower limb muscle function (endurance, flexibility and power) in experienced distance runners. In addition, the …

Comparison of Force and Flexibility in Gait Analysis of Sunnystep and New Balance Shoes
… any differences in forces, acceleration, and muscle stiffness when wearing different pairs of footwear. The first pair of shoes tested were New Balance shoes and the second were Sunnystep shoes. From the data, it was shown that on average the body experiences more force when wearing the …

Gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in habitually resistance-trained marathon runners and traditionally running-trained marathon runners: a comparative analysis
… running. Running training causes an overload on muscle and stimulates a physiological adaptation to create a training response. Specific adaptations in metabolic and physiological function of a muscle may be further achieved through specificity of exercise training. Resistance training programmes …

The development of a new comprehensive management model for Apophysitis Syndromes in adolescents, based on the assessment and management of passive muscular tension
… muscular tension as demonstrated by reduced flexibility. Method: A new theoretical model of passive and active tension underlying AS is proposed and used to demonstrate the new approach. Four main studies are presented. The first study examined a novel treatment of the most common AS in …

Running-related injuries among recreational runners
… factors (such as range of motion, flexibility and trigger points), running style and isometric strength. Their training and injury status were then monitored for one year, or until the runners were injured or censored (leaving the study due to other reasons than injury). A sports …

An evaluation of gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in endurance runners and low physical activity individuals
… runners. The gastrocnemius is the main muscle used for propulsion in running, and may be at risk for injury due to its morphology. In previous studies, changes in the morphology and architecture of the gastrocnemius muscle have been evident following training, but it is unclear whether …

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Elasticity and Force for Knee Flexion during the Menstrual Cycle in Women
Numerous studies have been conducted on changes of knee ligament laxity during the menstrual cycle (MC) since there are more injuries in certain phases. Some researchers believe that since estrogen receptor β exists in ligaments and tendons in the knee, estrogen may modulate towards a state of …
