The effect of proprioception training on foot loading during running

Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2018, Vol 34, Issue 2

Abstract

Background. Running is one of the most popular physical activities worldwide. There are many benefits of running, however, the data show correlation between running training and a high risk of injury. The im of the study was assessment of the effect of proprioception training on foot loading during running. Material and methods. 56 amateur runners (37 females and 19 males) participated in the pro­ject. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups. The control group performed standard warm up while the research group performed proprioceptive warm up. Before and after the warm up, gait parameters were assessed in both groups using FDM ZEBRIS h/p cosmos mercury med treadmill. Results. There were nosignificant changes in the following parameters: foot angle, step length, step width, lateral symmetry, the time of maximal pressure exerted on the forefoot and the heel, and maximal forefoot load in both groups. A significant decrease (p<0.05) in forefoot and heel maximal load and maximal ground reaction force exerted on the front foot, midfoot and heel was found in the training group. Forefoot maximal load time was significantly shorter (p<0.05) in the training group. No between-group differences were found. Conclusios. 1. Proprioception warm up decreases maximal loading forces in all foot regions and shortens forefoot foot maximal loading time, therefore it could be used to change foot loading patterns during running. 2. The study outcome indicates the need of further research on this topic with more participants, longer time and prospective observation of injury rate in study groups.<br/><br/>
