Discobolul – Physical Education, Sport and Kinetotherapy Journal, 2022
Abstract. The structural complexity of the foot emerges from its varied and precise characteristics. This small structure can adapt to different situations, walking on uneven terrain such as mountainous areas or running on flat ground while keeping the body in balance on small surfaces. For humans, the foot is the basis of support and propulsion during

The influence of foot posture on the cost of transport in humans [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010
SUMMARY Although humans appear to be specialized for endurance running, the plantigrade posture of our feet, in which the heel contacts the substrate at the beginning of a step, seems incompatible with economical running. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that plantigrade foot posture reduces the energetic cost of transport (COT ...
