Effect of Barefoot Training on Proprioception and Dynamic Balance in Recreational Runners: An Experimental Study
View through CrossRef
This study examines the effect of barefoot training on proprioception and dynamic balance in recreational runners. Modern footwear is suggested to reduce plantar sensory feedback, potentially affecting neuromuscular control and postural stability. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether a structured barefoot training program improves proprioception and dynamic balance. A total of 40 recreational runners were randomly assigned to either a barefoot training group or a control group (shod running) for a duration of 8 weeks. Proprioception was assessed using joint position sense tests, while dynamic balance was evaluated using the Y-Balance Test. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) in both proprioception and dynamic balance in the barefoot group compared to the control group. These findings suggest that barefoot training enhances sensory input and neuromuscular coordination, thereby improving functional stability in runners.
