In the article "Running Shoes May Cause Damage to Knees, Hips and Ankles" researchers observed "increased joint torques at the hip, knee and ankle with running shoes compared with running barefoot". The researchers also states that although "the typical construction of modern-day running shoes provides good support and protection of the foot itself, one negative effect is the increased stress on each of the 3 lower extremity joints (ankle, knee, hip)"
CLICK HERE to read the article in it's full version, it's pretty interesting.
Since the article talks about injuries in running, it kind of also touches the whole footstrike debate (heel versus forefoot). That's a topic I will come back to soon, in future posts!
Now it's time to watch Sweden vs. Finland!
GO SWEDEN GO!
