Before and after exercise, neuromuscular tests were performed to assess neuromuscular fatigue of the plantar flexors. Biomechanical gait parameters were acquired with an instrumented treadmill, and electromyographic activity of the lower-limb muscles was collected as an index of muscle activation. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> There were no significant time\u2009\u00d7\u2009foot strike interactions for neuromuscular (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2265\u2009.742), muscle activation (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2265\u2009.157), or biomechanical (all <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2265\u2009.096) variables. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> A dominant level running foot-strike pattern did not directly affect the extent of neuromuscular fatigue during a prolonged graded run. This suggests that no ideal running foot-strike pattern exists to minimize neuromuscular fatigue during prolonged-duration races wherein cumulative uphill and downhill segments are high, such as in trail running.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2023-0439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T21:37:13Z","timestamp":1725658633000},"page":"1339-1342","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effects of Foot-Strike Pattern on Neuromuscular Function During a Prolonged Graded Run"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2580-4470","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gianluca","family":"Vernillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Performance Laboratory, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Social Sciences, University of Alberta\u2014Augustana Campus, Camrose, AB, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matheus","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Performance Laboratory, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9913-3166","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aldo","family":"Savoldelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Performance Laboratory, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento, Trento, Italy"},{"name":"CeRiSM, Research Center for Sport, Mountain and Health, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Verona, Rovereto, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6974-6893","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aaron","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Performance Laboratory, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada"},{"name":"Red Bull Athlete Performance Center Los Angeles, Santa Monica, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1507-8356","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marlene","family":"Giandolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salomon SAS, Innovation and Sport Science Lab, University of Lyon, Annecy, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Horvais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salomon SAS, Innovation and Sport Science Lab, University of Lyon, Annecy, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3623-9764","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"W.
