Abstract

During running, the human body experiences repeated impact force between the foot and the ground. The impact force is highly associated with injury of the lower extremity, comfort and running performance. Therefore, shoemakers have developed shoes with various midsole properties to prevent the injury of lower extremity, improve the comfort and enhance the running performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of midsole hardness on vertical ground force and heel strike angle during men's and women's running. Five male and five female expert runners consented to participate in the study and ran at a constant speed with three different pairs of shoes with soft, medium and hard midsole respectively. In conclusion, regardless of gender, there was ill significant difference among three shoes in maximum vertical ground reaction force, impact force peak and stance time. However, the loading time decreased and the loading rate increased as the midsole became harder. Female subjects showed more sensitive reaction with respect to the midsole hardness, while male subjects showed subtle difference. The authors expect to apply this results for providing a guideline for utilizing proper midsole hardness of gender-specific shoe.

주행 중 인체는 발과 지면 사이의 반복적인 충격력을 경험한다. 충격력은 하지의 부간 편안함 그리고 주행 능력과 높은 연관성이 있다. 이에 신발 메이커들은 하지의 부상을 줄이고 편안함을 향상시키며 주행 능력을 개선하기 위하여 다양한 특성의 중저를 가진 신발을 개발하여 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 남녀 주행 시 수직 지면반력 및 착지각도에 미치는 신발 중저 경도의 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 전문 주자 남녀 각각 다섯 명이 본 실험에 참여하여 연질 중질, 경질의 운동화를 순차적으로 신고 동일한속도로 주행하도록 하였다. 결론적으로 성별과는 무관하게 최대 수직 지면반력, 충격력 정점, 디딤 시간은 신발 중저의 경도의 영향을 주지 못하였다. 하지만 중저가 경질이 될수록 부하 시간은 감소하고 부하율은 증가하였다. 이때 남성 참여자가 중저의 변화에 대하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면 여성 참여자는 상대적으로 더 민감한 반응을 보였다. 저자들은 본 연구의 결과가 향후 성별에 특화된 신발의 적절한 중저 경도를 결정하기 위한 가이드라인을 제공하는데 적용되기를 기대하는 바이다.
