Footwear’s Impact on Athletic Performance and Injury Risk
Footwear’s Impact on Athletic Performance and Injury Risk

ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal® January - February 2025 CEC Course #1: Footwear’s Impact on Athletic Performance and Injury Risk

1 CEC

By Jeff H. Mettler, PhD

Summary:

Locomotor movements are governed by the interaction between the foot and the ground. Consequently, what an individual has on their feet affects movement. By influencing the interaction between the foot and the ground, athletic footwear attempts to do one of two things: improve performance or reduce risk for injury. There are several features of footwear that function to accomplish these goals. The purpose of this article is to summarize some footwear features and describe their influence on athletic performance and injury risk to provide practical information needed to make an informed decision when choosing footwear.

This course includes an online article from ACSM’s Health & Fitness Journal® and a corresponding online quiz. All course content will be presented to you electronically after your purchase. To earn your CECs, you must view the course content and pass the quiz (earning a 70% or better).

Learners must complete this course within 365 days from the date of purchase. ACSM will not offer refunds, transfers, or course credits for uncompleted courses prior to their expiration date.
