The goal of this research was to analyze the effects of fatigue on the shock waves generated by foot strike. Twenty-two subjects were instrumented with an externally attached, lightweight accelerometer placed over the tibial tuberosity. The subjects ran on a treadmill for 30 min at a speed near their anaerobic threshold. Fatigue was established when the end-tidal CO2 pressure decreased. The results indicated that approximately half of the subjects reached the fatigue state toward the end of the…

Shock accelerations and attenuation in downhill and level running.
The effect of lower extremity fatigue on shock attenuation during single-leg landing.
THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH-INTENSITY RUN DURATION ON TIBIAL ACCELERATION AND SHOCK ATTENUTION
TLDR
The results indicate that these highly-trained runners may show improved movement strategies that allow them to maintain tibial acceleration rates even in a fatigued state.
Influence of custom-made and prefabricated insoles before and after an intense run
TLDR
In the present study, the acute use of insoles (custom-made, prefabricated) did not reduce shock accelerations compared to the control insoles, and their effectiveness at protecting against injuries associated with elevated accelerations is not supported and remains unclear.
Effect of a Prolonged-run-induced Fatigue on the Ground Reaction Force Components
The purpose of this study was to estimate the potential injury via analyzing ground reaction force components that were resulted from a prolonged-run-induced fatigue. For the present study, passive…
Characteristics of shock attenuation during fatigued running
TLDR
It is concluded that less shock was attenuated during fatigued than non-fatigued running and that only subtle changes in stride length were made while fatigued.
Modeling the Foot-Strike Event in Running Fatigue via Mechanical Impedances
TLDR
This Chapter addresses in this Chapter the biomechanics of the lower limbs in longdistance running under conditions of developing fatigue.
The effects of muscle fatigue on knee function during landing
TLDR
Evaluated the methodological procedures used in validation of a fatigue model and investigated the adaptation and regulation of post-impact knee mechanics during repeated step landings to investigate the effects of fatigue on knee function during a step-landing task.
Impact Shock Components and Attenuation in Flat Foot Running
Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the head and tibial acceleration signal magnitudes, and their powers and shock attenuations between flat-footed and…
Effects of treadmill running and fatigue on impact acceleration in distance running
The effects of treadmill running on impact acceleration were examined together with the interaction between running surface and runner's fatigue state. Twenty recreational runners (11 men and 9…

TLDR
Although differences in the vertical force and acceleration were measured, they appear to be relatively small and it is doubtful that differences of this small magnitude would lead to a higher incidence of injury on a particular surface.

The Role of the Quadriceps in Controlling Impulsive Forces around Heel Strike
TLDR
Paralysis of the quadriceps resulted in a large increase in the heel strike transient, and a two-dimensional mathematical model of the knee joint and lower leg was used to calculate the forces developed at the knee in response to them.
Biomechanics of stair walking and jumping.
TLDR
To moderate the risk of degenerative joint disorders four types of viscoelastic insoles were utilized to reduce the impact generated shock waves and it was shown that the shock waves invading the human musculoskeletal system may be generated not only by the heel strike, but also by the metatarsal strike.

TLDR
The results suggest that repeated SSC induces fatigue and the fatigue effects on the mechanical behavior of the muscle are very much similar to those induced by either isometric or concentric fatigue contractions, however, the transfer of the energy between eccentric and concentric phases was drastically reduced.
