A Reexamination of the Relationship between Foot Strike Angle and Early Stance Loading Variables during Running
Our results show that nonlinear or piecewise linear models can be used to represent the relationship between VALR/VTA and FSA. Although VLR/VTA were lowest with the lowest FSAs (i.e., most forefoot), participants with the highest FSAs (i.e., most rearfoot) showed reduced values compared with those typical of a more moderate/flatter rearfoot strike pattern.
