Running Footstrike Patterns and Footwear in Habitually Shod Preschool Children
Original language description
Introduction: Running skill develops during the pre-school age. There is little research evidence as to how footstrike patterns are affected by footwear during this important developmental period. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare footstrike patterns among different age groups of preschool children running in different footwear conditions. Methods: Three-dimensional kinetics and kinematics were collected while 48 typically developing children aged 3-6 years ran overground at self-selected speed in a barefoot condition and in minimalist and standard running shoes. Children were divided into 4 age groups (n=12/group). The key dependent variables for this study included strike index and sagittal plane ankle angle at footstrike. A two-way mixed ANOVA (3 x 4) was performed to determine possible footwear and age differences in footstrike patterns. Results: An interaction between footwear condition and age group was found in the ankle angle at footstrike (P = 0.030, η2 = 0.145). There was a main effect within the footwear condition across all age groups for strike index (P = 0.001, η2 = 0.337). The ankle was more plantar flexed in the barefoot and minimalist conditions compared to standard running shoes only in six-year old children (P < 0.05, d > 0.8). In addition, six-year old children had a more plantar flexed ankle than 3-year old children when they ran barefoot (P = 0.008, d = 1.24). Conclusions: Footstrike pattern is affected by footwear in preschool children. As children get older, their footstrike pattern becomes more non-rearfoot with a more plantar flexed ankle in barefoot and minimalist shoes. On the contrary, the rearfoot-midfoot strike pattern did not change over preschool age when they wore standard running shoes.
