Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the plantar force and ground reaction forces of different rope skipping conditions with different sport shoes. Ten subjects were instructed to skip rope with one leg condition (OC) and two legs condition (TC). The conditions included the Novel Pedar-X system was used to collect plantar force information beneath the foot inside the sports shoes. Vertical ground reaction forces (VGRF) of each skip were measured on a force platform. The mean values of each group were calculated for comparison. It was found that the vertical ground reaction force TC (4.46 BW run-shoe and 4.27 BW jump-shoe) were greater than OC (3.18 BW run-shoe and 3.51 BW jump-shoe) (p < 0.001). The results showed that OC with two shoes were significant higher than TC in all the variables of interest of Novel Pedar-X system. The force distribution patterns among two shoes were similar. During landing of rope skipping, plantar force occurred mainly at metatarsal head and hallux and lateral toes.
