Abstract
The aim of this study has been to determine whether any changes in plantar pressure distribution occur in competitive distance runners during the stance phase of continuous steady running and continuous accelerating running depending on increasing fatigue and loading intensity. Furthermore to show a practical significance of tensometrics for running technique and running economy evaluation, as well as, for prevention of structural and functional changes of foot resulting from an extreme loading.
The analysis of plantar pressure distribution during the stance phase at initial and final stage of continuous run was performed by using Novel Pedar-X system.
