Running barefoot leads to lower running stability compared to shod running - results from a randomized controlled study

Abstract Local dynamic running stability is the ability of a dynamic system to compensate for small perturbations during running. While the immediate effects of footwear on running biomechanics are frequently investigated, no research has studied the long-term effects of barefoot vs. shod running on...
