Analysis of Energy Expenditure during Walking using the Oxygen Consumption Method based on the Arch Type of the Students at the Sports Science Faculty of Universitas Negeri Jakarta
Abstract:Most of the studies examining the foot classified the foot arch into three types based on the index value by normal, low, and high. The varied foot arch structure caused an abnormal form of alignment require the foot to gain greater effort in performing its functions. This study aims to see the difference in energy expenditure during walking on three-foot arch types calculated by measuring oxygen consumption. The 24 students at the Faculty of Sports Science, Universitas Negeri Jakarta were divided equally into… Show more
“…Flat feet might lead to a decrease in the foot lever function, resulting in feelings of exhaustion (Supartono, 2015). This finding aligns with previous research conducted by Djaali et al (2018), which demonstrates that individuals with flat feet exhibit higher energy expenditure during walking compared to those with a normal foot shape. The results of other studies show that exercise intensity determines mitochondrial biogenesis and increases aerobic capacity (VO2Max) (MacInnis & Gibala, 2017).…”
Flat feet can cause a reduction in the foot function resulting in fatigue when walking or running. This condition can result in a suboptimal intensity exercise required to improve VO2Max of Pencak Silat athletes. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the shape of foot and VO2Max based on training duration among Pencak Silat athletes at the provincial level of DKI Jakarta. The study used a cross-sectional design involving 46 athletes selected through a total sampling. The subject criteria for this study included athletes aged 17-24 years, healthy, and had no lower extremities problems. The study utilized footprint test and multistage fitness test instruments. The study found that 27 (58.7%) athletes had a normal foot shape, while 19 (41.3%) had flat feet. There were no differences in age, sex, body mass index, and training duration between the two groups of foot shape (p 0.05). The maximum VO2 value was 45.0 (7.2) ml/kg/min in athletes with normal foot shape and 40.1 (70.5) ml/kg/min in athletes with flat feet. The independent t-test revealed a significant difference in VO2Max between the two groups of foot shapes (p = 0.028). The increase of VO2Max was in line with the duration of exercise, but this increase was not significant in subjects with flat feet compared to those with normal foot shape. It concludes that flat feet are negatively associated with VO2Max of athletes. Pencak Silat athletes with flat feet must exert extra effort to enhance their VO2Max, such as interval training and kinesio taping. Further research is recommended to explore the impact of these efforts on improving VO2Max.

“…Other structures of the medial longitudinal arch that can contribute to pes planus are the laxity of the plantar fascia, spring ligament, or other plantar ligaments. 12 Any type of trauma or injury to the midfoot or hindfoot can also lead to pes planus. Although it is usually asymptomatic, pes planus includes pain in the back, hip, knee, lower leg, heel, and midfoot.…”
Background and Aim:The medial longitudinal arch is formed by specific structures that allow the foot to function effectively. The medial longitudinal arch is formed by two pillars, the anterior and posterior pillars. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational approach, the current study included 350 young Indian individuals between the ages of 17 and 40. The participants were chosen at random from north Gujarat area; there were 240 men and 110 women Results: Very strong positive correlation was found between Foot Length and Height of individual for both feet which was statistically significant. Foot Length also showed strong positive correlation with Navicular drop of individual which were statistically significant. The correlation of Arch Height (AH) with demographic variables i.e. height and weight of individual were moderately positive, weak positive respectively. Conclusion:Based on the result and the methodology employed , we have conducted that, in present study on 350 random population between the age group of 17to 35 years, the prevalence of unilateral flat foot 12.5 % (10% were males and 12.5% were females).
