- Researchers introduced a novel method to assess the benefits of advanced footwear technology (AFT) track shoes for middle-distance running, using 200-m runs at race pace with recovery breaks.
- The study involved four experiments, showing that AFT spikes led to faster running times compared to traditional spikes, with specific findings indicating significant speed benefits and longer step lengths with certain AFT models.
- The results demonstrate that this interval-based approach is a reliable way to measure performance differences in running shoes, providing valuable insights into footwear technology's influence on middle-distance events.
