Includes bibliographical references. The aim of this randomised clinical trial over 12 weeks was to determine if the gradual transition (accompanied by calf muscle training), from conventional to minimalist running shoes 1) increased the risk of lower limb pain or injury and 2) improved lower limb muscle function (endurance, flexibility and power) in experienced distance runners. In addition, the effects of the transition on runner satisfaction were studied. To determine whether there were significant differences in lower limb injury incidence and pain, calf endurance, lower limb muscle flexibility, lower limb muscle power, footposture index, hallux ROM and participants’ satisfaction with the type of running shoes and performance between an experimental group, that ran in minimalist shoes, and a control group that ran in conventional shoes. (b) To determine whether there were significant differences in lower limb injury incidence and pain, calf endurance, lower limb muscle flexibility, lower limb muscle power, foot posture index, hallux ROM and participants’ satisfaction with the type of running shoes and performance between groups over time. 2014-07-28T14:38:47Z 2014-07-28T14:38:47Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3019 eng application/pdf Division of Physiotherapy Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
