Abstract Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive and safe method to measure body composition. Nowadays, due to technological progress, smaller and cheaper devices allow the implementation of BIA into wearable devices. In this pilot study, we analyzed the measurement precision of a cheap BIA solution for wearable devices. Intra-session, intra-day, and inter-day reproducibility of raw impedance values from three subjects at three different body locations (hand-to-hand, hand-to-torso, torso-to-torso), and for t…

Running at faster speeds and uphill on gradients ≥+10% increased internal tibial loading, whereas slower running and downhill running on gradients ≥-10% reduced internal loading. Adapting running speed according to the gradient could be a protective mechanism, providing runners with a strategy to minimize the risk of tibial stress injuries.

Abstract Running shoes were categorized either as motion control, cushioned, or minimal footwear in the past. Today, these categories blur and are not as clearly defined. Moreover, with the advances in manufacturing processes, it is possible to create individualized running shoes that incorporate features that meet individual biomechanical and experiential needs. However, specific ways to individualize footwear to reduce individual injury risk are poorly understood. Therefore, the purpose of this scoping review wa…
