@tomgoom I have a real problem with the concept of pronation-related injuries. It presupposes that pronation a) is directly related to injury and b) certain injuries are more related to over pronation than others. I think this paper by @BennoNigg summarizes this https://t.co/IZBhkDuk7M

Athletes are individual, complex systems, governed by ‘constraints’ which apply ‘boundaries’ to how they can move.
And according to the ‘preferred movement path hypothesis’, athletes develop a unique, preferred — & most efficient — running technique.

@CraigBPayne Thanks for sharing @CraigBPayne
Other than a couple cross sectional studies (https://t.co/MxTjx4kGbh) & (https://t.co/dOk3nRcY8o) do we have a lot of confidence that rearfoot eversion truly matters for RRI?
Seems the data is fairly weak on this construct https://t.co/AEGIuu70Y9

On the subject of pronation: You may be accidentally perpetuating myths that footwear companies want us believe, just so we buy more shoes.

@DerekGriffin86 Thanks Derek. Any evidence that comfort is a mediating variable? e.g., any studies or RCTs to back up the 'preferred movement path' and 'comfort filter' theories? https://t.co/O5c8rh9E0U

Abstract Synopsis
- The paper examines how running injuries and shoes have evolved over the past 40 years, questioning the actual impact of sports shoes and inserts on injury rates.
- It discusses previous research on injury mechanisms related to footwear, such as impact forces and ankle pronation, and highlights the lack of conclusive evidence linking these factors to injury risk.
- The author proposes two new concepts — the preferred movement path and the comfort filter — suggesting that runners naturally select comfortable shoes that align with their movement patterns, potentially reducing injury risk and explaining why injury rates haven't significantly changed over time.]
