Running shoe as a possible cause of injuries in endurance runners . from the perspective of a physiotherapist
Krchová, Zuzana ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
This work collects knowledge on running shoes and its potential impact on injuries in endurance runners in the theoretical part. There is a sought link between the running-related injuries, usually used running shoes and foot-strike technique. Then there are described the most common running related injuries and kinesiology of running. The practical part includes a study in the form of a questionnaire, which was attended by 383 runners. This research presents the results of the effect of footwear on running mechanics and the formation of overuse injury in endurance runners. The data obtained demonstrate injury in 48% of runners in the last 2 years. The most common site of injury is the knee joint. Runners usually resolve these problems having a rest. Endurance runners who buy frequently new shoes are more injured than runners who run in older shoes. Rearfoot-striking is associated with knee- pain, but it is not a higher risk of injury.
The distribution of the strain and differences of muscle activity of the lower limb during stance phase in two basic running techniques
Šimon, Jan ; Slabý, Kryštof (advisor) ; Pokorný, Jan (referee)
This thesis is focused on the function of the foot during the running activity. There are two basic running techniques taken in account - the rearfoot strike and the forefoot strike. The aim is to compare the distribution of the strain during the stance phase of running cycle and its relation to the muscle activity of the lower limb. To analyze the muscle activity we use the technique of electromyography (EMG). To measure the pressure during the stance phase we used Pedar - X insoles from the Novel company. As a conclusion we aim to map the distribution of the strain of all particular parts of the lower limb. At the same time we are bringing the proposals for eliminating the overexertion while keeping the same training intensity and volumes.
