Habitual non-rearfoot strike pattern attenuates impact loading during level and uphill running but not during downhill running

This study aimed to investigate the effects of uphill running (UR) and downhill running (DR) on impact loading and lower extremity biomechanics in runners with different habitual foot strike patterns (FSPs). Twenty-one habitual non-rearfoot strike pattern (NRFS) runners and 21 ha...
