Recently we posted a short documentary about a testing of Patrick Lange, two times Ironman Hawaii winner, and three different shoe types, unveiling biomechanical differences detected by our 3d force, torque and pressure instrumented treadmill h/p/cosmos gaitway® 3d.
A new research paper from Kim Hébert-Losier et al from the University of Waikato, New Zealand now also demonstrated different metabolic responses according to shoe type, resulting in differences in running economy and 3-km time-trial times.
Below you find the repost of the testing of Patrick Lange, two times Ironman Hawaii winner and the first ever to finish Hawaii in under 8 hours, comparing his Adidas shoes – adizero adios pro, adizero boston 8, solarglide!
