A bibliometric analysis of Olympic sport science: 25k articles, 600k citations. Some interesting patterns and insights. E.g. not surprising to see snowboarders' obsession with injuries, but surprising to see so little psych research across the board. frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Supershoe midsole foams: "There is a clear running economy (RE) advantage of incorporating PEBA versus EVA in an AFT when the models are new. However, after 450 km of use, the PEBA and EVA shoes had similar RE" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

Two near-identical shoes, one w/ old-school EVA midsole, the other w/ PEBA superfoam. Both have carbon plates. New: running economy 1.8% better with PEBA After 450km: no difference The foam makes the magic in supershoes, but it doesn't last forever! ⬇️ outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

If you want some more information on different shoe foams and carbon plates or now long we speculate shoes last, check out this article. Based on a paper from Víctor Rodrigo and written by Alex Hutchinson tinyurl.com/mr2bktrj

Some data from the excellent study from Víctor Rodrigo et al on the effect of different midsoles on running economy and biomechanics. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Mick Leahy UBC School of Kinesiology lululemon Increasing the pressure of the underband, increased the amount of mechanical work the respiratory muscles had to perform, and increased whole body oxygen consumption (i.e. worse running economy). On average VO2 increased 1.3% from the loose to tight condition-range: -0.3 to 3.2%.

New study finds that super spikes improve performance over 800m & 3k by about 2%. And improved running economy by 5% These were sub 34 (men) and 40 (women) 10k runners. So solid runners. Still shows a profound effect that explains the massive jump in performances.
