  • Impact of Alternative Footwear on Human Energy Expenditure
    Original Article Impact of alternative footwear on human energy expenditure CODY EDWARD MORRIS1 , HARISH CHANDER2, SAMUEL J. WILSON3, MARK LOFTIN3, CHIP WADE4, JOHN C. GARNER5 1School of Kinesiology, Recreation & Sport, Western Kentucky University, United States of America 2Department of Kinesiology, Mississippi State University, United States of America 3Department of Health, Exercise Science & Recreation Management, University of Mississippi, United States of America 4Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Auburn University, United States of America 5Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion, Troy University, United States of America ABSTRACT Purpose: Use of alternative footwear options such as flip-flop style sandals and minimalist athletic shoes are becoming increasingly popular footwear choices. The purpose of the investigation was to analyze the energy expenditure and oxygen consumption requirements of walking at preferred pace while wearing flip-flops, slip- on style shoes, and minimalist athletic shoes. Methods: Eighteen healthy male adults participated in this study. In addition to an initial familiarization session, participants were tested in three different footwear conditions [thong-style flip-flops (FF), Croc® slip on shoes (CROC), and Vibram Fivefingers® minimalist shoes (MIN)]. Then after a brief warm-up, participants walked a one-mile distance at their preferred pace. Immediately following completion of the one-mile walk, participants stood quietly on the treadmill for an additional period to assess excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Results: A repeated- measures ANOVA that the following variables did not show evidence of a significant differently value between conditions: preferred pace (p = 0.392), average oxygen consumption (p = 0.804), energy expenditure per mile (p = 0.306), or EPOC (p = 0.088).

  • Product Catalogue 2019
    Product Catalogue 2019 The strength of the human foot lies in its structural capability to adapt - depending on the movement, it changes from a very sturdy and efficient shock absorber, to a reactive and powerful propulsion source. There is an elementary function that is often overlooked; the foot performs as a sensory organ. Due to its flexibility and natural articulation, it can adapt and sense the ground with every step, much like the characteristics of our hands. The real-time data our foot collects and delivers to the brain as we step, helps us with instinctive and natural human movement. The mission of Vibram FiveFingers® is to engineer essential protective* footwear always aiming at allowing the human foot to move naturally and uncompromised. The human body is strong, by nature. Vibram FiveFingers® is a protective* tool and “articulated” rubber sole in the shape of the human foot. The glove-like upper respects the natural functionality of the foot, allowing you to feel the ground naturally with a level of protection*. All the outdoor styles feature our Vibram Megagrip sole compound for superior grip on dry and wet surfaces. We’re even innovating some of our uppers and liners to include a higher wool content, which keeps a more optimal foot climate. 2019: the next level of naturally “articulated” footwear. MAX FEEL AND INTENSIVE PRODUCTS MAX FEEL PRODUCTS You Are The Technology at its pure state: maximum articulation and ground feel combined to essential protection*. INTENSIVE You Are The Technology at its extended state: great articulation and ground feel + extended protection* for specific activities.

    Kolekce dámské vycházkové obuvi inspirovaná krajinou a chůzí naboso BcA. Linda Krásová Diplomová práce 2014 ABSTRAKT Diplomová práce se zabývá „bosým“ obutím. Je rozdělena do dvou částí, teoretické a prak- tické. Teoretická část popisuje historii a vývoj „bosého“ obutí. Seznamuje s konceptem bosé chůze, jeho zdravotními aspekty a fyziologií chůze. Práce též ukazuje módní trend, který souvisí s touto filosofií. V praktické části představuji jak návrhy jednotlivých modelů, tak samotnou kolekci. Ta se skládá ze čtyř párů dámské obuvi, respektující kritéria „bosého“ obutí. Klíčová slova: koncept bosé chůze, bosé obutí, minimalistické obutí, dámská obuv, přirozená chůze, design ABSTRACT My thesis is devoted to „barefoot“ footwear. It is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. Theoretical part is describing history and development of „barefoot“ footwear. It also in- troduces concept of barefoot walking, it´s health aspects and physiology of walking. And it shows a fashion trend, that is connected with this philosophy. In practical part of this thesis I present design of each model and final colection. It consists of four pairs of women´s footwear, respecting criteria of „barefoot“ footwear. Keywords: concept of barefoot walking, „barefoot“ footwear, minimalistic footwear, women´s foo- twear, natural walk, design Za vedení, cenné rady a připomínky bych ráda poděkovala vedoucímu mé diplomové práce panu doc. ak. soch.
