So excited to announce that my Calf Raise app can now be downloaded for FREE! Privilege to work with @cbalsalobre (such a legend) on this tool that provides objective measures of Calf Raise performance, including height, power, and work! Test it out now https://t.co/3ZAnhl9IqN

Reliability of medial versus lateral video analysis for footstrike assessment in treadmill and overground running

👟 Wonder how interchangeable lateral vs medial views are when analysing FSP/FSA? Turns out, not great (especially outdoors) @JBiomech

An educational video did not influence running footwear selection or perceptual measures (measured at purchase, one month, and three months) compared to a sham video.

Another article from Andrew Fife's PhD with @codiramsey @JFEsculier 👟

Have you ever had a running shoe recommended to you in store based on some form of gait or movement analysis?

The simple act of RECOMMENDING a shoe influences your perceptions....of the same shoe, without changing your basic running biomechanics.

Privilege to be at the AUS Podiatry Conference on Gold Coast and present on Calf Raise app. Great to connect IN PERSON for the 1st time with @Ben_JPeterson. The podiatrists community in AUS/NZ is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. My feet were also happy to find the sand🦶

Honoured to represent @waikato with our partner bay venues at the opening of the Haumaru Sport & Recreation Centre in Tauranga today. City councillor and I held the ribbon as youth cut the ribbon - a fitting symbolism of the centre as a safe, health and wellbeing space for all

@FootwearBiomech I’m so sad to be missing out this year due to lack of funding. I’m sure @BeBiomech will be a great keynote

Are super shoes a super PLACEBO? Our randomised crossover trial in female recreational runners suggests NOT for running economy, but YES for perceptions!

Cadence affected all calf raise test outcomes, except for repetitions, highlighting the need for standardisation when comparing results across studies. Cadence of 60 beats/min maximises total vertical displacement and work, while peak power is highest at 120 beats/min.
