Material and Design Mechanical Analysis on Kappa Tennis Shoes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Material and design affects the performance of shoes. In this study, according to different materials and designs, plantar pressures of Kappa tennis shoes compare to Adidas tennis shoes were tested, Fifteen male volunteered to take part in this student. After collecting and analyzing these data, the findings came to as follows: (1) There were no difference between Kappa tennis shoes and Adidas tennis shoes, (2) there is no safety risk factor in Kappa tennis shoes, and (3) the testing results showed that the damping part of first metatarsus (M5) of Kappa shoes, arch parts (M2 and M4) and supporting value should be improved.
