Distributionof plantation pressure in pass movement at futsal and comparison between two types of pals in futsal footwear

Abstract

It is important to know the loads imposed on the foot during the pass, which occurs frequently in futsal. Likewise the internal insole is one of the elements which can influence the loads on the foot structures during that movement. Thus the aim of the study was to describe the peaks of pressure on the movement of the pass and to compare the peaks of pressure between two models of insole. Five professional futsal athletes composed the sample. Two models of insole were analyzed: model A with EVA dubbed with polyester and with extra SBS material in the calcaneus region and model B of the same material with extra SBS material SBS in the calcaneus and metatarsals regions. The plantar pressure distribution was determined by capacitive insoles. The athletes performing five passes for each insole in random order. The higher regions of pressure were metatarsals and fingers. There was no difference in the peaks of pressure between the two insoles evaluated. The charges imposed on foot structures during the movement of the pass must be considered and biomechanical studies should be included in the development of sports shoes.
