Biomechanics of Sport Shoes reflects on nearly four decades of pioneering research into human locomotion. From the early days when sport shoe science was almost unheard of, Nigg documents the evolution of biomechanics into a field that challenged conventional wisdom on impact forces, pronation, and injury mechanisms. Blending groundbreaking scientific insights with industry collaboration and personal milestones, he introduces new paradigms that reshape how we understand sports footwear and performance. This book is an essential read for athletes, researchers, and anyone curious about the science behind the shoes we wear to move.
