Abstract
The dynamical behavior of sport shoes and surfaces has been measured and combined with a clinical study of injuries. The method used for the technical measurement has been the DIN Standard, and the clinical injury assessment has been obtained from several teams using different shoes and surfaces. The results point out that a dynamical spring constant can be used as a means of predicting potential athletic injuries. For the interaction between a shoe and surface the combined dynamical modulus may not exceed 3.2 MPa.
