“…Ura et al [8] reported higher contact areas as the vertical load increases. During sliding, the asperities of the surface deform the shoe sole and the energy dissipation and therefore temperature increases.…”

“…These mechanisms are affected by other parameters (e.g. roughness, contact area, normal load, shoe orientation), which have been previously studied and showed significant effects on friction [3,7,8]. It is possible that temperature changes due to friction during sliding contacts could change shoe sole material properties, with further implications for the tribological mechanisms.…”

Tennis is a sport played around the world on a variety of surfaces like grass, clay and hard courts. The types of surface and the surface properties influence the movements that are used by players. On hard courts, players have recently increased their tendency to perform sliding movements, possibly to reposition faster and be ready for the next shot. In order to enhance player's performance and reduce injury risk, there is a need to understand the tribological mechanisms occurring at the shoe-surface contact. The present study has developed an effective method to accurately measure temperature changes throughout a sliding movement. Friction and temperature measurements of a commercial tennis shoe outsole were measured during simulated sliding over hard court surfaces. Results indicated how the temperature changed during and after a slide. Additionally, it was found that the temperature of the shoe sole is significantly affected by the vertical load applied, and this varies depending on the shoe location tested. It was also found an inconsistent effect of surface roughness under a range of vertical loads tested. For multiple sliding tests during a rally, the shoe will increase temperature incrementally for each new slide, which could result in large changes in friction behaviour during a slide. The findings from this study could have important implications for the sport of tennis, both in terms of performance and injury-risk.

“…En relación a los giros de pivote, se ha observado que la mayoría de los giros se realizan teniendo como punto de apoyo el antepié, pero en algunos casos los jugadores utilizan el retropié como pivote de rotación. El dibujo de la suela del calzado tiene una gran efecto sobre la tracción (18) , y por lo tanto debe permitir este tipo de movimientos para evitar posibles lesiones de miembro inferior.…”

El pádel es un deporte muy practicado en países como España, Argentina y Brasil, pero existen poco artículos científicos que muestren la lesividad de su práctica. Los movimientos más frecuentes del pádel pueden incidir de forma lesiva en el pie y en la articulación del tobillo. Por ello el objetivo del presente estudio fue profundizar en el análisis del rol del pie en la ejecución de los movimientos más representativos del pádel mediante técnicas de video y de presurometría. El estudio fue dividido en dos partes: análisis presurométrico de dos gestos (carrera frontal y el split-step), y filmación del pié en el trascurso de dos partidos.Las principales conclusiones obtenidas del estudio son la importancia del antepié en los movimientos analizados, la importancia de un diseño específico del calzado para el pádel, y la importancia del entrenamiento neuromuscular y propioceptivo del complejo pie-tobillo, especialmente de los flexores plantares.

“…The magnitude of these forces in combination with other variables, e.g. surface roughness (Clarke et al 2012) and shoe orientation (Ura et al, 2013) affects the friction generated between the shoe and surface. Previous tennis studies have reported peak vertical forces of 1243.9 ± 99.1 and 1680.5 ± 483.7 N on hard court for a side jump and running forehand movements respectively (Damm et al, 2013).…”
