Foot Strike Pattern and Injury Rates

Hot on the heels of the prospective study I just reviewed on injury rates between barefoot and traditionally shod runners that showed that there really weren’t any differences we have a publication showing that here were no differences between different foot strike patterns as well. I have already discussed this study as it was first presented at the ACSM conference last year. At that time a number of critics did not want to give any weight to this study as it was only a conference abstract and not a full peer reviewed publication.
