Effects of carbon-fiber plate design on foot stress injury risk: a finite element analysis
During long-distance running, the thicker UD plate with a small ply angle exhibits greater potential for reducing loads on the metatarsals and plantar soft tissues, while the WO plate with moderate ply angle provides a more balanced load distribution. From the perspective of injury-risk reduction, the latter may be more favorable for recreational runners.
