Acute effect of short foot exercise on dynamic stability and foot kinematic in trail runners: a proof-of-concept study
This study suggests that a single session of the SFE may induce acute improvements in arch height and dynamic balance in trail runners, with differential responses depending on training volume. These preliminary results highlight the potential of the SFE as an acute activation strategy for the intrinsic foot muscles, but caution should be exercised when extrapolating the results.
