Increasing the midsole bending stiffness of shoes alters gastrocnemius medialis muscle function during running
Abstract In recent years, increasing the midsole bending stiffness (MBS) of running shoes by embedding carbon fibre plates in the midsole resulted in many world records set during long-distance running competitions. Although several theories were introduced to unravel the mechanisms behind these per...
