A Re-examination of the Measurement of Foot Strike Mechanics During Running: The Immediate Effect of Footwear Midsole Thickness.

A decreasing trend of both shank retraction angular range and retraction time can be observed with increased MT, with the shank tending to begin rotating backward earlier in the thinner shoe condition (refer to Figure 5 for a representative subject) but statistical significance did not met (refer to Figures 4A,B ).

However, although the results of FSA showed a trend of decreasing in MT42 and MT54 compared to MT30, participants did not transit to a non-rearfoot strike pattern in thicker shoe conditions, and there was only a small effect size ( η p 2 = 0.049) of MT on FSA.
