physiological comparison of Five Finger mens shoes

Primitive male I assume ran bare foot with the possibility of using some sort of footwear such as wooden sandals or animal hide. Wondering how our ancestors ran and protected their foot before the operating shoe, there is no doubt they endured immense hardships. Having said that given that its discovery, rather few changes have been produced to the humble running shoe. While the modern shoe may have not changed much other than being extra comfy to put on; it is exciting to note that more and much more research is being carried out in order to boost running performance.An intriguing article was published in the "Journal of Sports activities Medicine and Physical Fitness" that carried out an experiment to understand how changes inside the mechanical characteristics from the foot as well as the shoe-earth interface affects



the spatio-temporal variables, ground pressure distribution and other parameters in bare foot running. The other aim from the research was to examine if the Vibram five fingers shoes could essentially mimic the effects of operating bare foot or not. The final result with the experiments showed that during shod conditions, the runners landed in more plantar flexion in the ankle. The plantar flexion movement is often defined as something that increases the 90 degree between tibia and frontal part in the body. They researchers conclude that Vibram 5 fingers shoes are useful in mimicking the bare foot circumstances and deliver a selected level of protection towards the foot.References and more reading:Squadrone R, Gallozzi C. 2009.
