Objectives: This study aimed to compare push-off lower-limb muscle electromyography (EMG) mean frequency (MNF) between recreational male runners with pronated feet using carbon-plated and highly cushioned non-plated footwear, with particular attention to muscles involved in late-stance stabilization and propulsion.
Methods: Thirty recreational male runners with pronated feet were randomly assigned to a carbon-plated advanced technology footwear (ATF) group (Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 2; n=15) or a non-plated cushioned footwear group (Nike Invincible Run 3; n=15). A two-way mixed repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to examine footwear-group, fatigue, and footwear-group × fatigue interaction effects.
Results: Compared to the non-plated cushioned footwear group, the carbon-plated footwear group demonstrated higher overall push-off EMG-MNF values in the vastus medialis (VM) (P<0.001, η²p=0.291), vastus lateralis (P<0.001, η²p=0.220), and biceps femoris (BF) (P<0.001, η²p=0.251). Across footwear groups, post-fatigue testing was associated with higher semitendinosus (ST) MNF (P<0.001, η²p=0.330) and higher BF MNF (P=0.001, η²p=0.159). A significant footwear-group×fatigue interaction was observed only for the medial gastrocnemius (MG) (P=0.001, η²p=0.163), indicating that the pattern of pre- to post-fatigue change differed between footwear groups, with MNF increasing in the non-plated footwear group and decreasing in the carbon-plated footwear group.
Discussion: Carbon-plated footwear was associated with higher push-off EMGMNF in the VM, vastus lateralis, and BF. Fatigue increased MNF in the ST and BF, while the MG showed different fatigue-related responses between footwear conditions.
