Research student wins Nike Award for Athletic Footwear Research

The paper “The pursuit of improved running performance: can changes in cushioning and proprioception influence running economy and injury risk?' by Isabel Moore, Andy Jones and Sharon Dixon, won the award following a short-listing process requiring submission of a full research paper to the journal Footwear Science and the delivery of a presentation at the Footwear Biomechanics Symposium, International Society of Biomechanics, in Brazil.

This prize is awarded every two years to a paper considered to make the strongest contribution to a specific field of athletic footwear research and is awarded based on the scientific merit of the work, with a panel of experts assembled to assess the paper, presentation and handling of questions.

Congratulations to Izzy on this tremendous award.
