Comparison of shock absorption performance of basketball shoe with different sole structures

Basketball is a sport with high popularity, and it requires high on shoes. In violent experience, feet may be heavily impacted, which may cause damages to joints and nerves. Therefore, feet need the protection and shock absorption of basketball shoes. Today material science develops rapidly; the shock absorption system of basketball shoes is usually borne by the shock absorption property of shoe sole material. In recent years, the special design of basketball shoe sole structure has been a new approach to reduce shock. This study investigated the changes of impulse and pressure of sports shoes with different sole structures during sports through experiments, with the intention of providing a reference for the design and improvement of shock absorption sole of basketball shoes.
