  • Blomechanlcal ANALYSIS of VERTICAL JUMP with DIFFERENT FOREFOOT MORPHOLOGY
    3.pdlntornational Cuqkeme on BfDmechanics in Sports, TSU- Japan, Juiy 18-22,2016 BlOMECHANlCAL ANALYSIS OF VERTICAL JUMP WITH DIFFERENT FOREFOOT MORPHOLOGY Yang Shul, Yaodong Gul, Guoqing Ruan2and Li Yang2 Faculty of Sport Science, Ningbo University, Zhejiang, China1 Human Movement Research Lab, Anta Sports Products Limited, Jinjiang, China2 This study examined biomechanical differences between habitually barefoot male and habitually shod male during vertical jump. Foot morphology was measured with Easy-Foot-Scan. Foot kinetics and ankle kinematics were obtained from EMED pressure platform and Vicon motion analysis system as completing vertical jumps under barefoot condition. The results showed that habitually barefoot subjects had a significantly larger minimal distance between hallux and other toes. habitually unshod subjects showed larger loading under hallux and medial forefoot, while habitually shod subjects presented larger loading under medial and central forefoot. in addition, habitually barefoot male had smaller ankle plantarflexion, eversion and external rotation during vertical jump. Differences of kinematics and kinetics during vertical jump might attribute to the morphological differences in the toes region, which possibly explain the foot injury risks between habitually barefoot and habitually shod individuals. KEY WORDS: foot morphology, toes, plantar pressure INTRODUCTION: Forefoot width and toes separation increased significantly when walking barefoot. Robbins et al. (1987) indicated that the habitually barefoot feet likely to be injured than the habitually shod feet. Metatarsal pathologies were more serious in the habitually shod populations than that in the habitually barefoot populations (Zipfel et al.. 2007). This could illustrate that acquired behavior such as footwear wearing would affect the pathological fluctuation of metatarsus. Ankle sprain is one of the most significant injuries for participants of sports such as volleyball, basketball and soccer (Doherty et al.
