“…Direction of foot strike pattern change only recorded as either NRFS to RFS or RFS to NRFS. Data not included if studies reported further sub-categorisation of FFS or MFS d Hanley et al [ 19 ] = 6 checkpoints included in study, first two checkpoints removed due to violating exclusion criteria of being within 2 km of start line and final checkpoint removed as it violated exclusion criteria of being within 1 km of finish line. Performance data considered to be N/A as no competitors recorded as RFS for comparison.…”
