Abstract
Recent lab testing with Nike Vaporfly2 (VP) shoes have revealed running economy (RE) benefits of 2.5–3% (Joubert & Garrett, 2022). With runners also anecdotally reporting less sore calf muscles and less ‘beat up’ legs after hard workouts compared to traditional racing flats, use of VP may cause runners to undergo physiological adaptations since their muscles may be aided during training by the shoe’s energy returning technology (Hoogkamer et al. 2018).
