| 568ra_v1 | Can we quantify the benefits of “super spikes” in track running? | The recent and rapid developments in track spike innovation have been followed by a wave of record-breaking times and top performances. This has led many to question what role ‘super spikes’ play in improving running performance. To date, the specific contributions of new innovations, including lightweight, resilient, and compliant midsole foam, altered geometry, and increased longitudinal bending stiffness, to track running performance are unknown. Based on current literature, we speculate about what mechanical advantages these features may provide. Importantly, the effects of super spikes will vary based on several factors including the event-specific speed (i.e. 100 m vs. 10,000 m) and the characteristics of the athlete wearing them. Further confounding our understanding of super spikes is the difficulty of testing them. Unlike marathon shoes, testing track spikes comes with a unique challenge of quantifying the metabolic energy demands of mid-distance running events, which are partly anaerobic. For this reason, putting an exact number on the benefits from super spikes is difficult. | 2021-07-15T02:11:47.657845 | 2021-07-16T15:55:07.175501 | 2021-07-15T20:41:34.422450 | 2021-07-14T04:00:00 | sportrxiv | 1 | accepted | 1 | 1 | https://doi.org/10.31236/osf.io/568ra | No license | Biomechanics; Running energetics; Sprint performance; Super spikes; Track spikes | ["Biomechanics", "Running energetics", "Sprint performance", "Super spikes", "Track spikes"] | Laura Healey; Montgomery Bertschy; Shalaya Kipp; Wouter Hoogkamer | [{"id": "267sh", "name": "Laura Healey", "index": 0, "orcid": "0000-0003-0613-1629", "bibliographic": true}, {"id": "23rfy", "name": "Montgomery Bertschy", "index": 1, "orcid": "0000-0002-4966-580X", "bibliographic": true}, {"id": "7rsah", "name": "Shalaya Kipp", "index": 2, "orcid": "0000-0002-4628-3216", "bibliographic": true}, {"id": "tr5s6", "name": "Wouter Hoogkamer", "index": 3, "orcid": "0000-0003-0524-0196", "bibliographic": true}] | Laura Healey | Sport and Exercise Science; Sport and Exercise Studies; Sport and Exercise Biomechanics; Performance Analysis | [{"id": "5995e3a754be8104361ac1c3", "text": "Sport and Exercise Science"}, {"id": "5995e3a754be8104361ac1c4", "text": "Sport and Exercise Studies"}, {"id": "5995e3a754be8104361ac1c6", "text": "Sport and Exercise Biomechanics"}, {"id": "5995e3a754be8104361ac1d5", "text": "Performance Analysis"}] | https://osf.io/download/60ef99670316ba00203d1207 | 1 | Laura Healey is an employee of PUMA; Wouter Hoogkamer has received research grants from PUMA and Saucony. | not_applicable | not_applicable | [] | 2025-04-09T20:03:40.675215 |
