Running shoe cushioning has become a standard method for managing impact loading and consequent
injuries due to running. However, despite decades of shoe technology developments and the fact that
shoes have become increasingly cushioned, aimed to ease the impact on runners’ legs, running injuries
have not decreased. To better understand the shoe cushioning paradox, we examined impact loading
and the spring-like mechanics of running in a conventional control running shoe and a highly cushioned
maximalist shoe at two training speeds, 10 and 14.5km/h. We found that highly cushioned maximalist
shoes alter spring-like running mechanics and amplify rather than attenuate impact loading. This
surprising outcome was more pronounced at fast running speed (14.5km/h), where ground reaction
force impact peak and loading rate were 10.7% and 12.3% greater, respectively, in the maximalist shoe
compared to the conventional shoe, whereas only a slightly higher impact peak (6.4%) was found at the
10km/h speed with the maximalist shoe. We attribute the greater impact loading with the maximalist
shoes to stifer leg during landing compared to that of running with the conventional shoes. These
discoveries may explain why shoes with more cushioning do not protect against impact-related running
injuries.

Deep learning approach for prediction of impact peak appearance at ground reaction force signal of running activity
Girka, Anastasiia; Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Äyrämö, Sami (Taylor & Francis, 2020)Protruding impact peak is one of the features of vertical ground reaction force (GRF) that is related to injury risk while running. The present research is dedicated to predicting GRF impact peak appearance by setting a ... -
Self-selected running gait modifications reduce acute impact loading, awkwardness, and effort
Xia, Haisheng; Huang, Yangjian; Chen, Gang; Cheng, Sulin; Cheung, Roy T. H.; Shull, Peter B. (Routledge, 2021)Impact loading has been associated with running-related injuries, and gait retraining has been suggested as a means of reducing impact loading and lowering the risk of injury. However, gait retraining can lead to increased ... -
Individual Region- and Muscle-specific Hamstring Activity at Different Running Speeds
Hegyi, Andras; Goncalves, Basilio; Finni Juutinen, Taija; Cronin, Neil (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019)Introduction: Hamstring strain injuries typically occur in the proximal biceps femoris long head (BFlh) at high running speeds. Strain magnitude seems to be the primary determinant of strain injury, and may be regulated ... -
Ground reaction forces, neuromuscular and metabolic responses to combined strength and endurance loading in recreational endurance athletes
Sorvisto, Juha (2015)Among recreational and elite endurance athletes strength and endurance loadings are often performed concurrently to improve neuromuscular capacity in order to enhance running economy and maximal running velocity (i.e. ... -
Altered hip control during a standing knee-lift test is associated with increased risk of knee injuries
Leppänen, Mari; Rossi, Marko T.; Parkkari, Jari; Heinonen, Ari; Äyrämö, Sami; Krosshaug, Tron; Vasankari, Tommi; Kannus, Pekka; Pasanen, Kati (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2020)Few prospective studies have investigated hip and pelvic control as a risk factor for lower extremity (LE) injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether deficits in hip and lumbopelvic control during ...
