Walking in Minimalist Shoes Is Effective for Strengthening Foot Muscles.
Ridge ST, Olsen MT, Bruening DA, Jurgensmeier K, Griffin D, Davis IS, Johnson AW. Ridge ST, et al. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2019 Jan;51(1):104-113. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000001751. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2019. PMID: 30113521 Clinical Trial.
INTRODUCTION: Weakness of foot muscles may contribute to a variety of loading-related injuries. Supportive footwear may contribute to intrinsic foot muscle weakness by reducing the muscles' role in locomotion (e.g., absorbing forces and controlling motion). Increase …
