From Canmore to Kananaskis: where has the last 20 years in footwear science brought us?

摘要

Twenty years ago, marked the Fourth Symposium of Footwear Biomechanics (FBS). The symposium was held in Canmore, Alberta, just a short drive from this year's location in Kananaskis. The meeting attracted over 100 delegates who were exposed to a strong scientific program highlighted by keynote lectures from Drs. Joe Hamill, Thomas Milani, Martyn Shorten and Yasunori Kaneko. Dr. Toni Arndt, the current President of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) and former Chairperson of the Footwear Biomechanics Group, won the Applied Research Prize. Dr. Martyn Shorten won the Basic Research Prize, and today we have the Innovation Award named in his honor.
