@alisongrimaldi Yes . When we also consider that these muscles are vital for the proper functioning of the venous foot pump and that they have a direct link to the vestibular apparatus which has a central role in balance, you can see how important they are.

Interestingly, in Taddei et al the additional injuries in the control group were proximal to the ankle joint . Foot strengthening seemed to help prevent injury in the knee and hamstring group.

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

@lizbayleyphysio @adamdobson123 There’s evidence to support such an approach. For example Taddei et al. (2020) used foot strengthening exercises in 118 runners. They found that runners in the control group were 2.42 times more likely to develop an injury than the foot training group.

"Our findings demonstrate that whole-body vestibular-evoked balance responses were adjusted in response to altered mediolateral stability and head posture, in part, via modification of #intrinsicfootmuscle activity. "

During #running , esp #sprinting blood needs to be moved out of the foot not just against gravity but also centripetal effect generated in the swinging leg. The venous foot pump is vital.

Conclusion: Compared with regular intervention programme, additional #shortfoot training militated extra effect on improving static #posturalstability, mobility, #footmusclestrength and morphology in the elderly.

Quite a good article on #CNN . Foot strengthening exercises and thankfully no mention of the ineffective toe/towel curling exercise.

During explosive athletic activities the intrinsic foot muscles function eccentrically and concentrically Isometric exercises are unlikely to improve athletic performance. Research shows sprinting times are improved by eccentric and rapid concentric strengthening

[Novabow System @NovabowSystem]

Weak 🦵 musculature adversely affects balance so more reliance on systems like vestibular apparatus. But low intrinsic foot muscles compromise this system also.
Double whammy!

Younger adults respond better to barefoot exercise than older adults . In general, the muscles of older adults require progressive resistance exercises to become stronger .

Which is where the https://t.co/RM92T5oBS7 comes in

Just start training barefoot and you will notice:

1. Your foot's intrinsic muscles getting stronger

- those 20+ neglected muscles finally wake up after years of restriction in conventional footwear and engage in every movement.

2. Your balance getting better

- through enhanced proprioception as your nervous system receives direct feedback from the ground

3. You becoming more stable during lifts

- by creating a stronger foundation from the ground up, your squats, deadlifts and olympic lifts all benefit from enhanced neural recruitment patterns.

4. Improved movement mechanics

- without cushioned heels, your ankle mobility increases and your squatting pattern naturally optimizes.

5. Reduced knee valgus (inward knee collapse)

- when your foot muscles strengthen, arch support improves, correcting the cascading joint alignment issues.

6. Enhanced nervous system feedback

- removing the barrier between your feet and the ground increases sensory input, creating more efficient movement patterns.

7. Better force transfer

- energy from the ground transmits more efficiently through your kinetic chain without being absorbed by cushioned shoes.

8. Healthier foot structure

- over time, toes naturally spread wider, creating a more stable base and potentially reversing toe deformities caused by narrow footwear.

Just one thing. Start slow. Just 5-10 minutes per session and then progress gradually. Your feet need time to adapt after years of being "cast" in conventional shoes.
