Advancement in Research on the Influence of Lower Limb Stiffness on Running Economy
Running economy refers to the energy expenditure at a given sub-maximal running speed and is considered a pivotal factor affecting long-distance running performance.Lower limb stiffness denotes the capacity to resist external forces.This paper employs literature research method and logical analysis to present a comprehensive review of the impact of vertical stiffness,leg stiffness,and joint stiffness on running economy.The findings reveal that vertical and leg stiffness exhibit a negative correlation with energy consumption,with vertical stiffness increasing as running speed rises,while leg stiffness undergoes minimal changes during running.Joint stiffness,particularly at the hip,knee,and ankle joints,directly influences gait stability and energy transmission efficiency,with its variations impacting running economy and effectiveness.
