... increasing arch stiffness had differential effects on metabolic cost depending on the strike type!
Suggesting perhaps arch energy storage and return itself did not alter metabolic cost. Rather, arch motion looks to be altering how the muscles (particularly the calf muscles) function. (2/2)

These results suggest carbon fiber insoles may be beneficial for those with ankle plantar flexor deficits (e.g., older adults - shameless plug for our groups’ presentations next week at #ISB2025 👀).

Carbon fiber insoles have been shown to increase ankle joint moments and estimated soleus muscle forces while walking.
We provide evidence here that these benefits come without a clear metabolic penalty to the soleus, likely due to improved muscle operating conditions.
