Leg Stiffness and Vertical Stiffness of Habitual Forefoot and Rearfoot Strikers during Running

Foot strike patterns influence the running efficiency and may be an injury risk. However, differences in the leg stiffness between runners with habitual forefoot (hFFS) and habitual rearfoot (hRFS) strike patterns remain unclear. This study aimed at determining the differences in the stiffness, asso...
