SEACSM 2019 - Poster Presentation (Master Student Award Nominee)

Minimalist Style Boot Improves Loaded Running Economy

2019 3 Minute Thesis - University of North Alabama

 Minimalist style boots (MIN) improve running, but not walking economy for soldiers under load versus a traditional boot (TRD).  Fourteen male participants completed four-5min walking and running trials on a treadmill.  We found that only running economy (RE) was improved in all participants except one.  This should be considered for soldiers who must complete tasks while running under load
