Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Part 1: Plantar peak pressure in metatarsal region (kPa) Part 2: Peak vertical ground reaction forces (N) Part 3: Volume of oxygen uptake (ml.kg-1.min-1)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Part 1: Spatio-temporal parameters of gait (step rate, step length, stance time). Hip, knee and ankle joint angles in the sagittal plane during stance phase of running (kinematics outcome measures). Hip, knee and ankle joint moments and power in the sagittal plane during stance phase of running (kinetics outcome measures). Activity patterns of four lower leg muscles: Tibialis Anterior and Gastrocnemius (lateral and medial) and Soleus during stance phase of running and shoe comfort level. Part 2: Spatio-temporal parameters of gait (step rate, step length, stance time) Hip, knee and ankle joint angles during the stance phase of running (kinematics outcome measures). Hip, knee and ankle joint moments and power during the stance phase of running (kinetics outcome measures). Activity patterns (Electromyoraphy (EMG) with surface electrodes) of four main lower leg muscles: Tibialis Anterior and Gastrocnemius (lateral and medial) and Soleus during stance phase of running, and shoe comfort level. Part 3: Heart rate, respiratory exchange rate, running perceived exertion	—
