“…Although exploring the effects of HHS on muscle function was not possible through meta-analysis due to the lack of available data, to the authors' knowledge, wearing HHS does alter muscle activation patterns [7,15,24,[80][81][82][83][84][85]. Wearing HHS is generally accepted to cause an imbalance in the intensity and timing of muscle activity around knee joint, as well as faster and greater synergistic contraction of the muscles around ankle [7,85].…”

Background High-heeled shoes (HHS) are widely worn by women in daily life. Limited quantitative studies have been conducted to investigate the biomechanical performance between wearing HHS and wearing flat shoes or barefoot. This study aimed to compare spatiotemporal parameters, kinematics, kinetics and muscle function during walking and balance between wearing HHS and flat shoes or barefoot. Methods According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, PubMed Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, CINAHL Complete and Web of Science databases were searched from the earliest record to December 2021. A modified quality index was applied to evaluate the risk of bias, and effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals were calculated as the standardized mean differences (SMD). Potential publication bias was evaluated graphically using funnel plot and the robustness of the overall results was assessed using sensitivity analyses. Results Eighty-one studies (n = 1501 participants) were included in this study. The reduced area of support requires the body to establish a safer and more stable gait pattern by changing gait characteristics when walking in HHS compared with walking in flats shoes or barefoot. Walking in HHS has a slight effect on hip kinematics, with biomechanical changes and adaptations concentrated in the knee and foot–ankle complex. Females wearing HHS performed greater ground reaction forces earlier, accompanied by an anterior shift in plantar pressure compared with those wearing flat shoes/barefoot. Furthermore, large effect sizes indicate that wearing HHS resulted in poor static and dynamic balance. Conclusion Spatiotemporal, kinematic, kinetic and balance variables are affected by wearing HHS. The effect of specific heel heights on women’s biomechanics would benefit from further research.

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability, and is the most common musculoskeletal disorder. High-heel shoes, one of the significant identities of females, cause pain in the neck as well as in feet and ankle regions. The current narrative review was planned to explore evidence to highlight the biomechanical factors of high-heel shoes as the source of neck pain, which mostly remains undiagnosed. PubMed and Google Scholar search engines were explored for full text of research articles published in English language from 2016 to 2021. Of the 82 studies initially found, 22(27%) were shortlisted for full-text assessment, and, of them, 6 (27.27%) were selected for detailed analysis. Despite other contributing factors, kinematics and kinetics should be considered primarily during neck pain management. Based on best available evidence, high heels increase the individual’s height, but result in significant decrease in trunk flexion. ---Continue

Introduction In sports, most athletes are required to have great explosive power, that is, the maximum power that athletes can show in a short period. Explosive power is often an important index to evaluate the physical capacity of athletes. Objective To analyze the influence of explosive training in lower limbs on the performance of badminton players. Methods Taking the 17 existing players of the Middle School B girls’ badminton team as the experimental object, the explosive power of the lower limbs of the 17 players were tested and compared before and after the experiment. Results The 30m run results showed that the fastest athletes completed in 4.39s, with most of them completing in 5S. The overall test results were higher than before the experiment. Conclusion After adopting the improved training method, the lower limbs of the team members improved in technical and tactical performance, raising the athletes’ fitness. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
