But that's exactly why the impact is greater.

Reading it further though, none of the studies involved the Vaporfly.

You simply can't have a big impact jumping up and down on a trampoline, however hard you try. The "give" in the surface limits the maximum impact to a very low level.

Did you spot the date of the article ? Could be a clue as to why the vaporfly is not mentioned

I did Gus, just illustrating it's been found in a number of studies.

As Mr D said, the cushioning thing is something that's been found a in a few studies. It's possible the Vaporflys are different though given their differences in other are so it would be interesting to see a study into them.

I was just about to post about the shoes being given to olympic trials athletes also. Quite a few seem to be mulling about if they dare wear them without any training in them or not. A few of the athletes I know will be running in them though. |
