Effects of Midsole Thickness on Running Biomechanics

This study is looking at how shoe sole thickness may affect how you run. If you take part in this study, you will run on a treadmill at two speeds and in three shoes for 18 minutes total. Researchers will collect motion capture data as you run. The speeds are 3.0 m/s (5:30 min/km) and 3.6 m/s (4:40 min/km).
