Plantar foot pressure analysis for Xing Huina - the women 10000 meter champion in Athens Olympics

INTRODUCTION: In the middle-distance race, the running technology of the Athlete plays an important role in the foot pressure distributions. On the side, the movement of the foot pressure also affects the running technology. The two aspects are closely related and interact with each other. In the study of the middle-distance race, the plantar foot pressure analysis has a significant impact on the prevention of the sport injuries and orthopedics. METHODS: To collect the plantar pressure data from Xing Huina, the footscan® 1 m foot pressure plate was used. Based on the footscan®. The platform was mounted in the middle of a 10 m long EVA running track. Firstly, the static measurement was done by the subject standing on the platform; then the dynamic measurements were done by walking and running through the footscan® plate each 10 times. The average and standard deviation were obtained from10 measurements. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In the static measurement, there were high pressure distributions under the Metatarsal 1 and Metatarsal 2 of right foot, which meant there were higher loadings under the right foot than the left one in the standing phase. In the dynamic measurements, we can see the peak values of the pressure were distributed as shown in table.
