Zusammenfassung
Introduction Intrinsic foot muscle exercises (FE) and wearing minimalist shoes (MS) were shown to be beneficial for foot health in specific populations (e.g. runners) [1]. There are also a few studies reporting potential non-local positive effects along the posterior chain (PC) [2]. For healthy, recreationally active participants, there is little evidence concerning local and remote effects along the PC. Further, it is unclear whether these potential effects remain after a phase without training. This study assessed the local and remote effects along the PC of four weeks of FE or MS walking and the potential rem…
