Abstract

The article looks at the effect of various athletic footwear types on vertical jump and landing performance in male and female athletes. Subjects were evaluated for relative peak power in vertical, depth, and Bosco test jumps while wearing tennis shoes, minimalist footwear, or bare feet. The results indicated higher jump performance in bare feet or minimalist footwear without changes in impact forces.
