Experimental study on the effects of basketball on plantar pressure distribution of juveniles

With professional basketball games sweeping around the world, basketball is becoming more and more popular among juveniles. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the biomechanical effects of basketball on foot pressure and evaluate the impacts of basketball on the foot health development of juveniles in a scientific and objective manner. In this paper, by setting up an experimental group and a control group and using the RS-footscan force-measuring system, we attempt to test and analyze the planta support period, peak plantar pressure intensity, plantar impulse and foot axis angle of juveniles. The experimental results show that long-term basketball sports has a positive effect on the foot health development of juveniles. This study is very helpful to promoting basketball sports and preventing basketball injuries.
