“…Being exposed to anger can have a significant effect on biological regulatory systems, also early in life (Pollak et al, 2005 ). It is also well known that the sympathetic response of the autonomic nervous system elicited by anger has a significant impact on cardiac arrhythmogenesis (Lampert et al, 2002 ; Craig, 2005 ; Suls and Bunde, 2005 ; Taggart et al, 2011 ; Steptoe and Kivimäki, 2012 ; Suls, 2013 ; Mostofsky et al, 2014 ; Buckley et al, 2015 ; Lampert, 2016 ). Several studies have established a relationship between cardiovascular sympathethic control and the right insular cortex (Oppenheimer et al, 1992 ; Critchley et al, 2000 ; Oppenheimer, 2006 ).…”

Being in a social world requires an understanding of other people that is co-determined in its meaning by the situation at hand. Therefore, we investigated the underlying neural activation occurring when we encounter someone acting in angry or joyful situation. We hypothesized a dynamic interplay between the right insula, both involved in mapping visceral states associated with emotional experiences and autonomic control, and the bilateral superior temporal gyri (STG), part of the “social brain”, when facing angry vs. joyful situations. Twenty participants underwent a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning session while watching video clips of actors grasping objects in joyful and angry situations. The analyses of functional connectivity, psychophysiological interaction (PPI) and dynamic causal modeling (DCM), all revealed changes in functional connectivity associated with the angry situation. Indeed, the DCM model showed that the modulatory effect of anger increased the ipsilateral forward connection from the right insula to the right STG, while it suppressed the contralateral one. Our findings reveal a critical role played by the right insula when we are engaged in angry situations. In addition, they suggest that facing angry people modulates the effective connectivity between these two nodes associated, respectively, with autonomic responses and bodily movements and human-agent motion recognition. Taken together, these results add knowledge to the current understanding of hierarchical brain network for social cognition.

“…However, it is not clear whether increased coordination variability in the neutral shoe represents a negative deviation from the habitual motion path in response to fatigue or a positive adaptation to fatigue that is not necessary or not possible in the stability shoe. Fuller et al (2016) examined the similarity of stride time from one stride to the next in traditional and minimalist footwear and found that there were generally no differences between shoes. The only exception was a subset of runners who spontaneously switched from their normal rearfoot pattern to a midfoot pattern when introduced to the minimalist shoe.…”

“…A few studies (Fuller et al, 2016 ; Schrödter et al, 2016 ; Weir et al, 2020a ) have investigated the Habitual Joint (Motion) Path paradigm by examining the influence of running shoes on different measures of movement variability. In contrast to Pronation Control and Impact Force Modification, which relied on joint motions or forces measured at specific time points (e.g., initial contact and midstance) to test the effect of footwear, the Habitual Joint (Motion) Path requires a more wholistic calculation of how either whole body or select body segments are adapting across the entire gait cycle or multiple gait cycles.…”

Many runners seek health professional advice regarding footwear recommendations to reduce injury risk. Unfortunately, many clinicians, as well as runners, have ideas about how to select running footwear that are not scientifically supported. This is likely because much of the research on running footwear has not been highly accessible outside of the technical footwear research circle. Therefore, the purpose of this narrative review is to update clinical readers on the state of the science for assessing runners and recommending running footwear that facilitate the goals of the runner. We begin with a review of basic footwear construction and the features thought to influence biomechanics relevant to the running medicine practitioner. Subsequently, we review the four main paradigms that have driven footwear design and recommendation with respect to injury risk reduction: Pronation Control, Impact Force Modification, Habitual Joint (Motion) Path, and Comfort Filter. We find that evidence in support of any paradigm is generally limited. In the absence of a clearly supported paradigm, we propose that in general clinicians should recommend footwear that is lightweight, comfortable, and has minimal pronation control technology. We further encourage clinicians to arm themselves with the basic understanding of the known effects of specific footwear features on biomechanics in order to better recommend footwear on a patient-by-patient basis.

“…So, the benefit of variability might depend on the variable we are looking at. It was shown that parameters such as movement speed, footwear, expertise, and fatigue affect movement variability (Jordan and Newell, 2008 ; Fuller et al, 2016 ; García-Pinillos et al, 2020 ). Since fatigue is an unavoidable phenomenon in endurance sports, the question arises as to how fatigue affects motor variability and whether athletes are still able to perform their movements with the same consistency in a fatigued state.…”

The motion of the human body can be described by the motion of its center of mass (CoM). Since the trajectory of the CoM is a crucial variable during running, one can assume that trained runners would try to keep their CoM trajectory constant from stride to stride. However, when exposed to fatigue, runners might have to adapt certain biomechanical parameters. The Uncontrolled Manifold approach (UCM) and the Tolerance, Noise, and Covariation (TNC) approach are used to analyze changes in movement variability while considering the overall task of keeping a certain task relevant variable constant. The purpose of this study was to investigate if and how runners adjust their CoM trajectory during a run to fatigue at a constant speed on a treadmill and how fatigue affects the variability of the CoM trajectory. Additionally, the results obtained with the TNC approach were compared to the results obtained with the UCM analysis in an earlier study on the same dataset. Therefore, two TNC analyses were conducted to assess effects of fatigue on the CoM trajectory from two viewpoints: one analyzing the CoM with respect to a lab coordinate system (PVlab) and another one analyzing the CoM with respect to the right foot (PVfoot). Full body kinematics of 13 healthy young athletes were captured in a rested and in a fatigued state and an anthropometric model was used to calculate the CoM based on the joint angles. Variability was quantified by the coefficient of variation of the length of the position vector of the CoM and by the components Tolerance, Noise, and Covariation which were analyzed both in 3D and the projections in the vertical, anterior-posterior and medio-lateral coordinate axes. Concerning PVlab we found that runners increased their stride-to-stride variability in medio-lateral direction (1%). Concerning PVfoot we found that runners lowered their CoM (4 mm) and increased their stride-to-stride variability in the absorption phase in both 3D and in the vertical direction. Although we identified statistically relevant differences between the two running states, we have to point out that the effects were small (CV ≤ 1%) and must be interpreted cautiously.
