EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTAR PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION IN DIFFERENT SPORTS SHOES
Journal Title: Revista de Pielărie Încălţăminte - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper studies the effects of sports shoes in improving people’s exercise capacity and preventing sports injuries, and by performing gait (0.8m/s), jogging (1.5m/s) and moderate-speed running (2.3m/s) tests on athletes, discusses the characteristics of plantar pressure distribution on bare foot or in different sports shoes. According to the research results, when athletes are bare foot and wearing sports shoes, the heel region bears the largest pressure in both cases. When bare foot, the plantar pressure on the first toe region is also large, but when in sports shoes, the plantar pressure in this region is significantly reduced. During bare foot gait, plantar pressure is relatively concentrated in toe, forefoot and heel regions; during gait in sports shoes, plantar pressure is evenly distributed. Shoes are designed to allow the arch region to also bear some pressure so that the whole plantar pressure tends to be even. During jogging and gait, the ground reaction forces given by NIKE sports shoes to the 4 plantar regions are small, indicating that NIKE shoes provide better cushioning effects compared with the other two sports shoe brands; ADIDAS shoes provides the poorest cushioning effects – the pressure is high and concentrated in forefoot, arch and heel regions, bringing more harm to the foot arch region. The pressure brought by these 3 brands of sports shoes does not vary much in the toe bone region, but significantly in the arch region.
