The study investigated whether the characteristics of different running shoes affect intra-abdominal pressure. A clinical trial was conducted with healthy women using minimalist footwear, recording muscle activity while running on a treadmill at different speeds. The results showed that muscle activation increased with speed, but there were no significant differences between the types of footwear.
