[The sports shoe].

Today children wear sport shoes more and more on a daily basis, although the sport shoe was originally designed to serve just for sports purposes. Good sport shoes for children must therefore fulfill the criteria for everyday shoes as well as the requirements for good running shoes, namely, adequate cushioning in the heel area, support during pronation and directing the rolling movement for push-off using the forefoot. For these purposes, the shoe should not represent a miniaturized version of an adult sport shoe, but must be designed for the form of the child's foot and also take the fragility of the connective tissue into consideration, in addition to user comfort, fit, and foot ventilation. In comparison with today's models, therefore, good sports shoes could be improved in many areas.

[Sports show support inlays. A biomechanical comparison of three different types of arch support (author's transl)].

The effect of three different types of support inlays for sports shoes was investigated in the basis of measurements made on 37 athletes who use such shoes in their daily training. The date were obtained from force measurements (repulsion force on the ground) and with the aid of films. The investigation showed that there was no difference in the average values of the three types of support (loose inlay, glued-in inlay and support permanently attached to the shoe). All the supports reduced medial bending at the ankle joint. None of them caused a reduction medial bending at the ankle joint. None of them caused a reduction of repulsion forces when the foot came into contact with the support. In propulsion, all the supports caused an increase in the lateral outturn of the foot. The scatter range in the measurements obtained with the loose inlay was greater; a connection was found between this and the possibility of the foot slipping in the shoe.
