Sex differences in young adults on comfort and foot skin temperature using different running shoes lacing
研究了24名休闲跑者使用交叉系法和后跟锁定系法跑步时，性别对足部皮肤温度和舒适度的影响，发现交叉系法导致运动后皮肤温度更高，后跟锁定系法更舒适，且女性运动后皮肤温度升高更明显。
This study examined the impact of sex and lacing pattern on foot skin temperature (Tsk) and comfort during running. Twenty-four recreational runners participated in two treadmill trials involving cross-lacing and heel-lock lacing. Tsk and comfort were measured before and after 20 min of running at 10 km/h. Results revealed higher post-exercise Tsk with cross-lacing compared to heel-lock lacing (p = 0.003). Females had lower pre-exercise Tsk but higher post-exercise Tsk than males (p < 0.001). Heel-lock lacing was perceived as more comfortable (p < 0.05), and females reported higher heart rates and perceived exertion (p < 0.001). The mechanical work of running is crucial for the impact of lacing patterns on Tsk. Increased Tsk with cross-lacing negatively influences comfort, suggesting that lacing patterns can affect foot thermoregulation and subjective experience during running. • Cross-lacing obtained higher foot skin temperature than heel-lock lacing after exercise. • Females showed lower skin temperature than males before exercise but higher after exercise. • Heel-lock lacing was perceived as more comfortable than cross lacing.
