DOI: 10.1007/s40279-019-01238-y
Abstract: Background Running participation continues to increase. The ideal strike pattern during running is a controversial topic. Many coaches and therapists promote non-rearfoot strike (NRFS) running with a belief that it can treat and prevent injury,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.202895
Abstract: ABSTRACT Human running is inefficient. For every 10 calories burned, less than 1 is needed to maintain a constant forward velocity – the remaining energy is, in a sense, wasted. The majority of this wasted… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.981108
Abstract: Previous studies reported that both a more compliant quadriceps tendon and a stiffer Achilles tendon are associated with better running economy. While tendon stiffness can be decreased by a single bout of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation… read more here.
