Animal welfare encompasses the overall well-being of an animal, spanning both its physical and mental health, assessable through potential measurements. It stands in contrast to mistreatment, which involves actions, direct or indirect, that endanger an animal's well-being. This study sought to appraise the factors influencing the Brazilian population's understanding of dog welfare and mistreatment.

- The study examines how running economy (RE) relates to various kinematic parameters in long-distance runners, focusing on their gait mechanics during running.
- Twenty recreational runners participated in treadmill trials at different intensities, with data collected on their breathing and movement using advanced technology.
- The findings reveal that specific knee and hip movement patterns during running significantly correlate with and predict running economy, suggesting that optimizing these kinematic aspects can enhance running performance.
The effects of running with or without shoes on injury prevention have been extensively studied, and several investigations have assessed biomechanical differences between them. However, findings are not consensual and further insights on biomechanical load associated with differently shod or barefoot conditions may be needed. This study aimed to observe if habitually shod marathon runners show acute alterations when running barefoot or with minimalist shoes, and to determine whether the running kinematical adaptations of wearing minimalist shoes were similar to barefoot running.
