Soft-tissue vibration and damping response to footwear changes across a wide range of anthropometrics in running.

Different factors were shown to alter the vibration characteristics of soft-tissue compartments during running. Changing pre-heel strike muscle activation or changing footwear conditions represents two possibilities to influence the vibration response via frequency shift or altered damping. Associat...
