Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how gender and speed influence the biomechanics of human running, specifically focusing on ground reaction forces (GRFs) and gait differences between male and female runners.
- Data was collected from 48 runners (30 males and 18 females) as they ran at speeds ranging from 10 to 16 km/h, highlighting that as speed increases, both propulsive and vertical GRFs rise significantly.
- Results indicate that female runners exert greater propulsive and vertical forces than their male counterparts, especially during the late stance phase, implying that females may expend more effort to maintain the same running speed as males.
This study compares foot-ankle temporal kinematics characteristics during planned and unplanned gait termination (PGT and UGT) in subjects with different arch stiffnesses (ASs) based on the statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM) method. By measuring three-dimensional arch morphological parameters under different loading conditions, 28 healthy male subjects were classified and participated in gait termination (GT) tests to collect metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and ankle-joint kinematics data. The two-way repeated-measures ANOVA using SnPM was employed to assess the impacts of AS on foot-ankle kinematics during PGT and UGT.
