Ten questions in sports engineering: supershoe use in distance running
Bryce Dyer
Abstract:Footwear used in competitive distance running has remained relatively unchanged in nature for decades. However, such technology has recently generated controversy with the introduction of so-called ‘supershoes’. Such footwear appear both aesthetically and functionally different to those used prior to their introduction and their arrival coincided with a spate of distance running world records being broken. The ten questions presented in this paper address a series of issues that relate to supershoes. These inc… Show more
