This is the first of what we hope might be more Target Articles in @JApplBiomech proposing new theoretical frameworks in a research area. Feel free to reach out if you have been rethinking how to address big questions in your movement biomechanics area.
New paper - a theoretical basis for developing running footwear technology. We propose that running economy (in the context of footwear) is a total effect encompassing a direct mechanical effect and a biomechanically mediated effect. doi.org/10.1123/jab.2024-010… @GlenLichtwark
