Footwear science research has seen a roughly 10-fold increase in publications over the last 20 years. This commentary will focus on three primary themes of this time frame: methodological developments, running-related injuries, and performance. Within each theme, we summarise knowledge generated through substantial couple decades. The developments highlight both improvements data analysis techniques as well changes how measure variables interest. Running-related injury prediction paradigms...
Lateral shuffles are common movements in sports and facilitated by the hip, knee, ankle joints. Shoe uppers can change kinetics during walking running. However, it is not known how shoe upper modifications affect shuffling. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects construction on mechanical joint work It hypothesized that a with reinforced will result decreased negative work. Twenty participants performed Maximal (MLST) Submaximal Shuffle Tests (90% MLST) footwear minimal (MU)...
There are few applications in the industry where power is conveyed to destination by long cables which stored on winch rather being laid. This particularly true if load a mobile system and cable length between source of variable as case Remotely Operable Vehicles (ROV) Underwater Mining Machines. paper presents dynamic analysis heat transfer characteristics subsea umbilical when wound winches. Two different were modeled analyzed using Finite Element Analysis(FEA)Electromagnetic field...
The Nike Vaporfly 4% (VP4) shoe is popular due to its unique design and reported performance benefits. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for improvements remain unclear. One proposed mechanism teeter-totter effect. This study aimed 1) experimentally test theory by estimating moment (M

The use of compression tights during and following high-intensity exercise has demonstrated improvements in performance, reduced muscle damage, lower perception exertion, recovery. However, results vary given inter-individual differences locally applied compression. PURPOSE: To determine the effects customized on performance exercise, recovery, fatigue damage exercise. METHODS: Eighteen (n = 18) elite male varsity athletes performed 40 x 15 m repeated sprints (RS) either custom-fit limb (CC)...
