Fitness running and walking are popular activities throughout the world, use to improve cardiovascular health and prevent metabolic disease. The high frequency of mechanical stress forces applied to the plantar arch during long distance running and walking can result in overuse injuries. The configuration of the plantar arch is often considered a predisposing factor for this disorder. In this article the anthropometric data, exercise history and foot injury data for a group of 22 competitive runners and walkers were correlated with the plantar arch configuration as determined by podoscopic examination.

Abstract
Fitness running and walking are popular activities throughout the world, use to improve cardiovascular health and prevent metabolic disease. The high frequency of mechanical stress forces applied to the plantar arch during long distance running and walking can result in overuse injuries. The configuration of the plantar arch is often considered a predisposing factor for this disorder. In this article the anthropometric data, exercise history and foot injury data for a group of 22 competitive runners and walkers were correlated with the plantar arch configuration as determined by podoscopic examination.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
