“…This finding has been supported by other similar studies. Recent study by Köse ( 2018 ) verified that the weight difference of 285 g between two shoes has shown a significant effect on 10-m sprint performance. In another study on basketball shoe, it was reported that the shoe within 20% of weight difference did not significantly influence the sprint and cutting performances (Worobets and Wannop, 2015 ).…”

The Influence of Forefoot Bending Stiffness of Futsal Shoes on Multiple V-Cut Run Performance

A forefoot bending stiffness (FBS) property of footwear is known to benefit athletes in running performance. To date, the efficacy of bending stiffness on performance is rather unknown from the perspective of futsal shoes. This study investigates the influence of bending stiffness property of three commercial futsal shoes on change of direction run resultant performance. Nineteen university level athletes participated in the human performance test (multiple V-cut change of direction run) on a hardwood flooring facility using three pairs of futsal shoes (i.e., S1, S2, and S3) with different models but similar in outsole material (S1—mass: 311 g, heel-to-toe drop: 10 mm, friction coefficient, 1.25; S2—mass: 232 g, heel-to-toe drop: 8 mm, friction coefficient: 1.34; and S3—mass: 276 g, heel-to-toe drop: 7 mm, friction coefficient: 1.30). The FBS properties for each shoe were mechanically measured. Results from the analysis of variance indicated that there was a significant difference of FBS value among the three shoes (S1: 0.32 Nm/deg., S2: 0.26 Nm/deg., and S3: 0.36 Nm/deg.) [F(2,8) = 28.50 (p < 0.001)]. Shoes with relatively higher shoe-playing surface friction coefficient (S2 and S3) had significant impact on the V-cut performance (p < 0.05) when compared with the shoe with lower friction coefficient (S1). In contrast to the literature, the shoe with the lowest FBS (S2) did not suffer any detriments on the resultant performance in the test conducted. These findings suggested that there could be other performance limiting factors, such as the friction coefficient, rather than FBS that have greater influence on the test outcomes.

This study compared the ground reaction force (GRF), GRF ratio, and contact time between badminton shoes without and with a lateral forefoot wedge sole during lunges in three directions. Fifteen collegiate athletes wore forefoot wedge shoes (5° incline) and control shoes without a lateral forefoot wedge sole (in random order) and performed three typical badminton lunge movements (forward, lateral, and backward directions). A total of nine GRF, GRF ratio, and contact time parameters were analyzed. A paired t test was performed to assess the differences between two shoes. The significance level was set at p < 0.0056 (0.05/9) based on Bonferroni correction to avoid chances of type 1 errors. In the forward lunge, the forefoot wedge shoes resulted in a significantly higher average vertical ground reaction force (GRFv, 3.9%), average horizontal GRF (GRFh, 7.8%) in the braking phase and higher average GRFh (3.9%) in the propulsion phase than the control shoes. In the lateral lunge, the forefoot wedge shoes resulted in a significantly shorter total contact time (−4.6%) than the control shoes in the backward lunge, the forefoot wedge shoes resulted in a significantly higher GRFh to GRFv ratio (6.4%) in the braking phase compared with the control shoes. Thus, shoes with a lateral forefoot wedge sole can effectively enhance mechanical performance in direction changes during forward and backward badminton lunges, and shorter the contact time during lateral badminton lunges. Shoes with a lateral forefoot wedge sole can be considered when designing athletic footwear.

Summary The researchers seek to identify the impact of weighted balls on performance speed in wheelchair basketball players. An experimental method has been used in conformity with research nature between pre-tests and post-tests sample. The sample was selected by the intended manner and divided into two equal groups (10 players experimental sample, 10 players control sample) for the 2019/2020 sports season. A speed test (5 m and 20 m without ball), speed test (5 m and 20 m with ball) were used. After statistical treatment of the results, the researchers concluded: The weighted balls are important to develop performance speed in wheelchair basketball players, and the best improvement of the experimental group based on of weighted balls is marked comparing to the control group. A regular physical training with weighted balls is very important to improve of performance speed of persons with disabilities in basketball game.
