Mathematical modeling of an optimum foot strike pattern: effect of footwear and surfaces
This study investigated the relative contributions of shoes and surfaces on the spring and damping constants of a mass-spring-damper system modeled to describe the heel-toe running foot strike. The effects of shoes and surface interventions on ground contact time, first impact peak force, time to fi...
