UNLABELLED
Shock attenuation during running is the process of absorbing impact energy due to the foot-ground collision, reducing shock wave amplitude between the foot and head. Shock attenuation is affected by changes in stride length and stride frequency, but it is not clear whether either parameter individually affects shock attenuation.
PURPOSE
To identify the independent affects of stride length (SL) and stride frequency (SF) on shock attenuation.
METHODS
Subjects ( N = 10) completed…

Stride length was an important factor that determined impact force magnitude, and it is likely that lower extremity posture is a determining factor influencing impact characteristics.
Head and Tibial Acceleration as a Function of Stride Frequency and Visual Feedback during Running
- BiologyPloS one
- 2016
Increased visual task demands through head gaze feedback resulted in reductions in head accelerations in the active portion of stance and increased head-gaze stability, and impact accelerations of the head and tibia appear to be solely a function of stride frequency as no differences were observed between feedback conditions.
The effects of local muscle fatigue on shock attenuation characteristics during running

SA was 4.2% greater when running after the fatigue protocol than when running before the fatigue Protocol, and aieg was, on average, 1.7 g greater during running after than during running before (6.0 ± 2.4 g).

The results suggest that the knee joint acts as a low-pass filter allowing greater shock attenuation with increased knee flexion, and may shift the shock-attenuating responsibilities away from passive biological tissue toward active muscular contraction.

The results suggest that runners may benefit from a stride frequency of approximately 85 strides min−1 and by landing at the end of swing phase with a relatively vertical tibia.

The effects of an irregular surface on contact geometry, shock attenuation and metabolic cost during running
- Medicine
- 2016
It is hypothesized that the irregular surface would cause runners to reduce frontal plane foot inversion and increase knee flexion at contact, increasing the metabolic cost of running and shock attenuation and the kinematic and metabolic effects of running on an irregular surface are investigated.
