“…In another study, 72 college-aged males were randomly split into a control group, a Strength shoe-' group or a regular shoe group. After 10 weeks of training no significant differences between groups in the training response were observed, but seven members from the Strength shoe'-group had dropped out of the study because of injury compared to only one drop-out reported from the regular shoe group [59]. Thus, these weighted shoes do not seem to provide any extra training benefit over regular athletic shoes, but do seem to put the athlete at the increased risk of injury due to altered biomechanics.…”

“…The substantial effects reported with a similar shoe in the earlier study [134] may have been due to the much longer periods spent wearing the shoes (up to 4h dailv). The Textile Progress long-term implications and injury risk from such an overload programme have not been rigorously evaluated, but certainly other studies [59] have demonstrated that this type of shoe design increased this risk, probably due to altered biomechanics. Combined with the impracticality of wearing this style of shoe for prolonged periods these shoes should probably not replace other well-established training methods.…”

“…In an investigation into 2 types of training programs, it was observed that highresistance training resulted in an improved initial acceleration phase, whereas high-velocity training resulted in an improved initial acceleration and maximum speed (15). In addition to traditional strength training, other interventions such as strength shoe (36) and Meridian shoe (26) have also been proposed for speed development. It is noteworthy that almost all methods or interventions focus on muscles associated with the driving phase of running (i.e., gluteus maximus, quadriceps, and plantar flexors), whereas the training of muscles responsible for the recovery phase has not been explored.…”

Deane, R.S., J.W. Chow, M.D. Tillman, and K.A. Fournier. Effects of hip flexor training on sprint, shuttle run, and vertical jump performance. J. Strength Cond. Res. 19(3): 615-621. 2005.-Although hip flexion is integral in sports, hip flexion exercises are seldom emphasized in strength and conditioning for sports performance.This study aimed to determine whether a hip flexor resistance-training program could improve performance on a variety of tasks. Thirteen men and 11 women completed an 8-week hip flexion resistance-training program. Eleven men and 13 women served as controls. Isometric hip flexion strength, 40-yd dash time and the time for the first 10-yds, 4 ϫ 5.8-m shuttle run time, and vertical jump height were evaluated at the beginning and end of the training and control period. Improvements were observed in the training group but not in the control group. Individuals in the training group improved hip flexion strength by 12.2% and decreased their 40-yd and shuttle run times by 3.8% and 9.0%, respectively. An increase in hip flexion strength can help to improve sprint and agility performance for physically active, untrained individuals.

Dorsiflexion sport shoes aim to increase jumping capacity and speed by means of a lower position of the heel in comparison with the forefoot, favouring additional stretching of the ankle plantar flexors. In previous studies, contradictory results have been found on the benefits of using this type of shoe. With the aim of comparing a dorsiflexion sport shoe model (DF) with a conventional sport shoe (CS), 41 participants performed a countermovement jump (CMJ) test and an agility test (MAT) with both models of shoe. There were no significant differences in the jump test [CS=35.3 cm (6.4) and DF=35.6 cm (6.4), P>0.05]. In the agility test, the conventional shoe obtained better results than the model with dorsiflexion with regard to time taken to complete the circuit [CS=6236 ms (540) and DF=6377 ms (507), P<0.05)]. In spite of producing pre-stretching of the plantar muscles, the DF sport shoes were not effective for improving either jump power or agility in a specific test.
