Definition

The region of the foot that first contacts the ground during running, commonly rearfoot, midfoot or forefoot. Its practical meaning depends on the athlete, event, measurement method or training context, so it should not be interpreted as an isolated universal rule.

Practical use

Compare measurements within the same device, speed and surface when possible; a single biomechanical value is not automatically a technique target.
